I do not want to run another linux box - because that might go down as well.

*Any* hardware you use might "go down", including the cable to the router
managing the failover.  And it would be quite possible for a Debian system to
be more reliable than some random router, eg. a small solid-state system.


besides, i wonder if you have your power setup correctly - n+1
generators, n+1 ups, n+1 pdu, redundant ps in each computer / node,
bgp with multiple noc? if the answer to any of these is 'no', another
debian pc might be just as good as any equipment you might buy anyway.
