Hmm... no responses posted to date.
I think one of my colleagues responded directly to the poster. We do it by a daemon he wrote that monitors interface link status, and also pingability of default gateways, and reconfigures interfaces in event of a failure, based on the normal configuration file settings (/etc/rc.conf)

Instantly in event of link loss; after a few seconds of retrying in event of router loss (we use HSRP addresses for routers.)
