If the infrastructure is the same in both locations, why not load balance with stateful failover? If it's not the same in both locations, what are they doing for replication and the such in the event a site does go down? - Chandler On Dec 30, 2008, at 7:08 PM, Naveen Nathan wrote: Hi,

If you don't have control over the other site my best advice would be to use the BGP communities your transit providers give you. If you setup your clients routes to a lower Local Perf on your transit provider's network, your transit provider will always pick the primary provider's routes first.
