The server needs a bypass switch if the main server goes down. You will
have to have the bypass directly connected with the mail server, and
switch when the main goes off, then they have to log into their mail to
retrieve it on the server. You could also try having a miniature
version of the main server's setup on the mail server, and any other
servers, that allow them to connect to them independently.

I already have backups on the MX and web servers, however those
do
me no good when the main users server goes down. THAT's the one I
need
to figure out how to build a redundant setup for. Users can't get to
their accounts/files/e-mail if that main server goes down. I don't
know
if there's any way of building some kind of quiet failover system
that
would allow users to continue using their shell and get to their
files
and e-mail when one server goes down (and the other takes up the
slack.) Somehow when the main server comes back up some things would
have to switch back and all of that.
