a somewhat cleaner way to do this would be to advertize a less specific
route from the DR location covering the more specific route of the primary
location.  If the primary route is withdrawn, voila .. traffic starts
moving to the less specific route automatically without you having to
scramble at the time of the outage to inject a new route.

aha!  much cleaner indeed!  and works single or multi provider.
