I don't think you ever said if this was two links from the same provider, or=
 two different providers. That's a huge factor in what your options are.=20

You'll have a hard time doing BGP-based failover with a /26. It's just too s=
mall a route to be announced globally.=20

This stuff isn't just a technical question, but also one of policy and polit=
ics. In order to get to a proper solution, your best option is probably to g=
ive the provider(s) a call, and explain what you'd like to do.=20

Depening on a lot of things, one option could be to have the provider owning=
 the IP(s) tunnel it over the other link durin fault. Hard to say if they wi=
ll, so you really nedd to talk to them.=20

In the meantime, DNS-failover is a lot better than nothing.=20
