I have my router configured to failover to a second ISP if my primary fails. I can't figure out how to switch the DNS server when the failover happens. Any ideas? Thanks,
Greg

You don't have to use the ISP's DNS. You can simply point to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 (Google DNS) and so it shouldn't matter what ISP is up.

What is the DNS server pointed to? If your DNS server is pointed to an external DNS, it shouldn't matter what router is up.

It looks like the DNS server from the different ISPs is only accessible from within the ISP networks.
