so, say you end up with a /24 and your ASN

split up your /24 into hq-/25 and colo-/25
 
from colo:
1) announce /24 as a standard adv
2) announce colo-/25 with *no-export* community set

from hq:
1) announce /24 as a standard adv
2) announce hq-/25 with *no-export* community set

Run iBGP over a dedicated link b/w colo and hq (I don't like allow-as in! but it is another option)

Easy part:
I need to provide my users acces to the internet from my HQ
site via a local Internet connection or via a colo.  
 
Hard part:
I also need to provide incoming access to hosted apps
(HTTP, FTP, SMTP) from either location, so if the colo
internet connection goes down the traffic can re-route to
the HQ server farm and visa versa.
I am in the process of purchasing an AS and ip space. Is it
advisable to use the same IP space at both locations and run
iBGP over a dedicated L2 connection between the sites.

As in 
- use of multi or single AS?
- private, vpn or other dci?
- etc 
What's the purpose of the site? Or what end result are you
trying to achieve?
