What problem are you trying to solve? Haven't heard that one in a while!? ;-) Why would 10.10.10.1 and 172.16.10.1 be offering redundant default gateway services to the same hosts? (Recall that HSRP provides redundancy for the end host-to-default gateway link.) An end host's default gateway must be on the same LAN (broadcast domain, IP subnet) as the end host. The end host ARPs to find the MAC address to send off-net packets to. The ARP broadcast contains the IP address of the default gateway that the host is searching. With HSRP, the active router responds with the "phantom" MAC address.
