Nameservers for back-up
Hi,
I want to set up a mirror site as a back-up in case of total server failure on my main site.
If I list my nameservers with the registrar like this:
ns1, ns2,
ns3, ns4
would browsers automatically go to ns3, ns4 (for the back-up site) if the first two
nameservers were not found?
If this won't work, can anyone tell me another way?
Thanks!

Maybe, maybe not. The whole point of having ns3 and 4 is to act as a backup. Im my experience though this practice sometime fails if ns1 and ns2 are both unavailable..
