I have 14 pc's in a internet cafe of which 1 is the server, I have opted for two ISP's so as if one isp goes down I can immediately switchover to another, the issue I am facing is how do I set up the network to resolve this without doing anything manually? I have 1 static & 1 Dynamic IP + 2 routers + 2 8port switches
