Thanks, Justin. Yes, we considered that option, too. But then if one WAN router goes down, the customer will only have connectivity through a single upstream provider. We'd prefer to maintain connectivity to both even if a router fails. Switches in front of the routers is no problem.

The gotcha with that is then you need a switch in front of the routers. I'd just setup a carrier on each router and run ibgp between.
