Hi, I would like to ask if someone knows an "easy" way to implement a failover for my sites. I have two vps and want to create a failover so when one server is down it will change the A records to the other vps and vice versa.
Thanks.

You could look at dnsmadeeasy.com. On a business account you can have dns failover that will repoint your ip address to the other server if the primary one fails. This is not realtime however there will be a period of around 3 minutes for the dns to switch over but it is a cheap way to achieve what you want.

Thanks but I'm looking for a free solution that I can implement in my vps. I'm currently using zoneedit which offers also failover and I'm looking over Editdns but seems they don't offer the failover.
