Anybody know how such a connection would work if Comcast went down? (Other
than speed, that is. I know it would be slower.) We have 5 static IPs and

blahblahblah.dilgardfoods.comwould still have to get to IP address
111.222.333.444 whether Comcast was
up or not.

If the speed is acceptable on both providers you could use round-robin
DNS with parallel static IP addresses on each provider. But that
would mean that all incoming connections would be split approximately
50-50 between the two providers.

If your backup provider is enough slower to be unacceptable except as
a last resort, then I'm with David, I think this is going to be
difficult to pull off in any kind of transparent way.
