Internet presence during a disaster

["Fox, Danny D." <dfox2 () SU EDU>]

I am reviewing/updating our disaster recovery plan and am looking into
maintaining an internet presence during a disaster.

The goal is to provide a place for parents and others, not on campus, to
go to get some information even if we have an internet outage to the
campus.

I am looking at several options but leaning towards a hosting provider
like Network Solutions or Yahoo. They each have several plans and you
can have a dedicated IP Address for your site.

The site would contain "boilerplate" information pages that PR could
update via dial-up service until we get internet access back and our web
server on-line. These pages would be straight HTML with minimum
graphics.

To activate the server we would change the registration for our main web
server to the IP address of the provider so that anyone going to
www.su.edu would be directed to the off site server. 

What I would like to know is what others are doing to maintain an
internet presence during a disaster?
