agreed. on the microsoft side it's just using one ODBC DSN as opposed to
another. problems may occur at the firewall level which the host would be
able to permit. a more effective technique would be simple mirroring of a
database at one ISP onto the other. as long as it's just content and not
transactional data, this is easy. if you have transactions distributed
across servers you need a clustering solution.
