Cloudflare Auto Update IP if server goes down?

xaitmi

Hi,

So basically.

This is my current setup

Cloudflare --> Nginx Reverse Proxy --> WebServer

Lately my Nginx Reverse Proxy, which is a OVH Box, keeps going offline for extended periods of times, this has happened twice so far for 6+ hours which is causing me problems.

I wanted to setup a backup reverse proxy and then some how have it so that if Reverse proxy #1 fails, cloudflare automatically gets updated with the ip of #2.

Is there a script that can check if #1 is offline, and if so, then update the DNS with the ip of #2?
