The TeePipe Server software includes an integrated DNS server that will automatically answer incoming DNS requests with the IP address of the adapter that the request was received on. So, you just list the different IP addresses of your different connections as your primary and secondary name server addresses, and clients will automatically connect on which ever link is up, or load-balance across the links if more than one is up. This is also really nice because you are eliminating the DNS server as a single point of failure. As long as your server is up and the root DNS servers are working (if they aren’t, then the whole internet will be down) and at least one of your links is up, then you will be up.
