Wohoo! Well, I have made another “background” script. Basically, when anyone ever accesses a certain targetted domain, they will first encounter a page with 4 lines of code. Basically, it will
check to see if the better and yet unreliable secondary server for the site is up. If it is, it will forward the user there. If it isn’t, then it will forward the user to the crappier and yet always on primary server. This also helps alleviate the bandwidth constrictions placed upon the primary server, and maintains an optimal environment for the user.

Possible applications are those who run HTTP servers at home that may not be left on 24/7.
