      Is there a way to have a NAT rule forward to another host if the original host goes down?

      Example: 
      Http traffic from WAN interface NAT'd to Web Server
      NAT setup for Web Server @ 192.168.x.5
      Backup Web Server @ 192.168.x.6
      if Web Server fails to respond then NAT rule then traffic gets NAT'd to Backup Web Server

      I need to do something like this because I have limited public IP addresses.  Any suggestions?

        Take a look at the loadbalancer.
        Inbound loadbalancing can work as failover too afaik.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Correct, Failover or Loadbalancing.
