Thanks, but not really what I'm after. The secondary, tertiary, etc nameservers kick in if the first dns server is down. I'm looking for the dns server to change the ip address of the website/domain if it detects the site is down. Essentially a round robin system, except that rather than load balancing, only point to the secondary, etc when the primary webserver is in a state of failure.
