your s3 bucket. dnsmadeeasy (or similar) monitors your s3 bucket,

and switches DNS to your backup if it goes down. Your app only ever

Someone else mentioned dnsmadeeasy and I contacted their tech people. They said:

"The manner in which S3 is implemented makes it difficult to monitor using our toolset."

There was one DNS company (http://dynect.com/) that mentioned having an API for allowing remote changes. So I guess the cron method from the non-static server could work. If it can't reach your S3 bucket, it could run a script to change the DNS to your backup choice.

As Dave Winer pointed out, there's some cash to be made for the companies who step up to find a way to help spooked S3 users...or potential users like me.
