HSRP/BGP failover
Q1.Is it possible to have a Cisco router be in HSRP as primary in one Group but Standby on another?
Q2. I have an ATT ISP as primary and Cogent as secondary and it works great. I now have a new circuit that I want to send all outbound traffic to and leave the old set up to support incoming internet traffic going to the DMZ.
I need to send all internet bound traffic to the new 100Meg circuit and when that fails bring it back to the ATT primary circuit. I am running BGP on the ATT and Cogent circuits.
What would be the best way to do this and how can I do failover should the new circuit fail?
Can anyone help
I am attachig a topology map
Thank you in advance

I'm not that knowledgeable on BGP, but (assuming it were correctly configured), it should select the best path (which for the most part, would be the 100m link). If that fails, then the traffic should take the next best path.
mhcandle,
if you want to route outgoing traffic over one interface, you may use metrics in the routes (I assume you have one router connected to both links). If you are using static routing, the only way to use a secondary link as a backup is to have the primary link connected to the router (therefore, the route will be removed if the link goes down). If this is not possible, you may use BGP between the router and your ISP, to monitor the link, and detect any failure.
If you have you're own IP addressing, you may advertise your routes to both ISPs, prepending (enlarging de AS-path) of the secondary link advertises, in order to "make the net" prefer the primary link. Please, be aware that this depends on the ISP and may not work. You should probably get in touch with them.
See you!

How would I separate the oubound internet traffic and how would failover work? any ideas?
