I don't want, because I can't accomodate, failover of A to B and B to A.
What I do have the bandwidth between networks to do is fail over a subset
(VIP customers) of A to B and vice versa. My guess is to advertise a /21
via each and a /24 from each /21 on both for the fail over to be for those
/24s specifically.
