Question : DNS Issues with backup internet provider

My IP Address are given to me from my main internet provider, when our main line goes down and the second provider kicks in we can't send or receive emails.  All our DNS from network solutions points to the network from the main provider.  What can I do so we can keep email and other services up and running with our secondary provider?

Answer : DNS Issues with backup internet provider

from your main DNS provider you have to have an A record and an MX record for the secondary IP

IE
A records
mail.yourcompany.com        24.24.24.24 (primary IP)
mail2.yourcompany.com      24.24.24.25 (backup IP)

MX
mail.yourcompany.com       priority 10
mail2.yourcompany.com     priority  20

that should be a good way to setup your backup for your mail.
