I had faced such situation once: I had multihomed host that was
running Apache daemon that was announced via two DNS names that
were corresponding to two different IPs, going via two different
providers.  When the first provider's link goes down, the second
provider is still alive, and when both providers are alive, the
traffic is balanced via DNS round-robin alias.  Do you see some
better way to do it via CARP, RIP, something different?  I am still
interested in other possibilities.

Thank you!
