Run an ibgp session between siteA and siteB. Announce only your prefixes
on those sessions. Tag them with a community. Make sure that these
prefixes are more preferred than the one you put in as backup. Filter out
prefixes with the tag. More or less like this:
# backup route using low localpref to be less preferred
network 192.0.2.0/24 set { localpref 1 }
# send my networks to siteA tagged with community
deny to siteA
allow to siteA prefix-set mynetworks set community local-as:42
# filter out announcement originated from siteA
deny to any community local-as:42
