Using a N3024F for a redundant internet connection

Question

I am looking to use a single N3024F for a redundant internet connection setup. This would be in the case where I would have separate ISP both coming into the switch. If our main ISP has an outage the switch would auto failover to the secondary connection. It appears I would need BGP compatible switch to make this work. What are the N3024F capabilities for this type of scenario? (Note the single N3024F would have redundant power supply's however please let me know if you believe two N3024F's would be a better solution if the N3024F is capable of what I am trying to accomplish.)

That might work for outbound routing to the internet but it seems like it wouldn’t do any good for inbound access from the outside. Is that the case?

How would this work in the following scenario for INBOUND traffic.

I have a web server “owa.test.com” set up for a static ip address in the subnet of my primary ISP ip.

If my primary ISP goes down, I will be able to browse the internet outbound from my site using the backup ISP but a user in the field trying to access “owa.test.com” which I host be unable to access it.

This would be a setup with two external connections with each connection being a different ISP.
