Yes, it's called "out of band management". Have dial-in access to IPMI/iLO interfaces or just an APC remote controlled power-switch to power-off the server.
I don't want to reboot the server everytime something like that happens. I'll expect pretty nasty problems will develop after a few dozen unclean shutdowns like that.
Would ILO work on a server that's unresponsive due to heavy load? The actual network access isn't a problem so dial up isn't necessary. The other problem is the server in question probably doesn't have ILO features on the mainboard.
