Anybody have an idea of how to implement such a "redirect", assuming that when we need the redirect most, we're in a situation where the machine that answers to the ip that the name wikipedia.org resolves to is totally incapable of doing anything, and we don't control the routers that the request would pass through.
Hmm, one could put a short TTL on the DNS entry, and swap it to point to another machine in case of problems.
However that could be problematic in terms of hugely increasing traffic for the DNS server.
