I've just had a major server crash which required the replacement of a dedicated server.
The hosting company were particularly crap at helping with the rebuild other than giving me a incorrectly set up blank machine.

I've now got it all working again but I'd like to future proof myself.

Is it possible to run virtual sites on two different named servers running at two different locations. That way my if my primary server went down or was hit by a dos attack (something esle this world class hosting company has suffered) the sites would still be running on the second server.

Of course there would be potential problems with version control and online database entries but I can work round them, I just like to know if what I'm suggesting would work.

Cheers
