Thanks.
This option sounds a lot simpler than first thought. I will keep this in
mind. Also, I'm also running a DNS server in house as well, but, if no
power at home then there will be no DNS will be resolved.

I actually would like to have the main server locally and the backup
server hosted somewhere else with: Amazon, Godaddy, etc...
The cheapest way is to point the hostname to your home IP, and set a
very short TTL, say 5 minutes.
Use the minimum your DNS hoster will accept.
Then you can switch to your backup in that time frame by altering the
A record.
This is trivially automated by running a cron script on the backup
server that checks if your home IP is responding, and if not, switches
the DNS record to itself.
