Thank to everyone that took the time to respond with their ideas. To those who asked, the client didn't provide details on the application. However they were insistent that it wasn't possible to have it run in an active/active configuration, so load balancing at either the application or BGP level wasn't an option. Also they didn't want to subnet the space for the failover location, so it's all or nothing style routing. Of the several solutions presented the two that seem to be simple to implement and guarantee traffic were conditional route advertisements or using more specific routes. I was unable to find information for conditional route advertisements in JunOS, so it seems like advertising specific routes at the primary option will be the easiest option. If anyone has information on conditional routing for JunOS, I would be much appreciative if you could send this to me. Happy Holidays everyone. - Naveen
