Thanks to everyone for the help. My questions have been answered (for now).
What I'm trying to do is; I have multiple remote offices where I want to
create a VPN tunnel across one provider to the corporate office. In case
that the provider goes down, I need to have the second provider take over
(with a new tunnel of course). The fail-over with BGP is the easy part. The
other guy working on this thinks everything should be running in HSRP, and I
don't/didn't think HSRP would allow the stand-by router to become active
with the failure being somewhere in the providers network. I thought that I
could run them in parallel and let a dynamic routing protocol do the
deciding. However, I heard IPSEC breaks routing protocols. I also heard that
you can run them throught a GRE tunnel and not encrypt them. This is all
still theory until we get some equipment in to do the pilot. Has anyone
tried doing this? I'll try this out (track command) and thanks again for the
info.

P.S. Priscilla your book rocks.
