I saw something on the UltraMonkey site which did this, Super Sparrow. I
also found another, but not being too helpful, I can't remember the
name. However, both projects appeared to start in 1999 and don't appear
to be be actively developed. Both were Dynamic DNS solutions.
I have the same situation where we have ultra critical Web servers in
the UK, and mirrored in the US. We currently give out clients both URL's
but it would be nice to not have to do this.
So if anyone knows of a solution which is active, I also would be
interested.
