Re: Configuring multi-home failover

[Travis Dawson <tdawson () bluemartini com>]

Two very good guides for this:
http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0110/ppt/smith.pdf
and
http://www.cisco.com/public/cons/isp/documents/Multihoming_Draft_2_0.PDF
and basically all the documents in
http://www.cisco.com/public/cons/isp/documents
are worth the read.

Enjoy.
