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?

Hi, I would appreciate insight and experience for the following situation. I have a client that would like to announce a /18 & /19 over BGP in Sacramento and LA, us being the second location in LA. Our location will be a failover location incase Sacramento goes down. They want failover for extreme cases when they're completly down inSacramento. They have strict requirements so that traffic to their blocksshould exclusively go to Sacramento or LA. This seems difficult to automate and they are aware of this. They will contact their provider to stop announcing the blocks and subsequently contact us to announce their routes. I am wondering is there a better way to approaching the situation without resorting to announcing the routes when the client calls us and tells us to failover. This seems to be the inherent problem aswell because the customer wants this to be a manual process. -- Naveen Nathan To understand the human mind, understand self-deception. - Anon
