Might want to take a look at BGP PIC. It won't necessarily help with failure detection but can greatly speed convergence to get traffic onto a working path quicker. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/iproute_bgp/configuration/guide/irg_bgp_mp_pic_ps10890_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html
