Not sure what is the best way nowadays to get own /24 or at least /26 ?
I don't think you ever said if this was two links from the same
provider, or two different providers. That's a huge factor in what your
options are.
You'll have a hard time doing BGP-based failover with a /26. It's just
too small a route to be announced globally.
This stuff isn't just a technical question, but also one of policy and
politics. In order to get to a proper solution, your best option is
probably to give the provider(s) a call, and explain what you'd like to
do.
Depening on a lot of things, one option could be to have the provider
owning the IP(s) tunnel it over the other link durin fault. Hard to say
if they will, so you really nedd to talk to them.
In the meantime, DNS-failover is a lot better than nothing.
Did the OP say he was running servers at all? If there are no servers,
then any of a number of "dual-wan routers" will handle the problem with no
difficulty and minimal expense. If he is running servers, these routers
generally come with built in software to do dynamic updates of DNS, that I
understand works, provided you don't have unreasonable expectations about
reliability. Just because some institutions can't stand 5 minutes of
downtime doesn't mean there isn't a legitimate use for facilities that
suffer 5 minutes of downtime several times a year.
