Wondering if and how people are doing this. We know how to load balance lan to lan VPNs but client has a potential requirement to have their remote workers to be able to access the site via vpn on either of their internet connections.

At present they hit bob.domain.com and if there is planned maintenance we can change bob from 1.1.1.1 to 2.2.2.2 and it is a quickish change.

Thinking about setting up bob.domain.com with round robin DNS and two A records and allow it to bounce between both connections. Has anybody done this or have a better option. I know I will see random weighting but wondering if it will work for resilience more than performance. Looking for an easy / lazy life :)
