   Hardly fancy. Just include two A records for the same address. You will
   need two ifaces, or an ipalias on the multi-homed host.

This solution does not address load-balancing, and it relies on
session layer code to decide to try any alternate IP addresses when
the first one tried fails.  It would be nice to get that kind of
functionality at the IP, or TCP level.
