Cisco MPLS BGP Routing with backup ISP at another site
We have 4 sites. All on MPLS with BGP routing.
Site A has the primary Internet connection. BGP is configured with default-originate to pass the default route to the other MPLS sites.
Site B has a new Cable Internet installed to another ISP as backup. We want to re-configure BGP so if the primary location circuit drops or if the Internet at the primary location drops, Site B will become the backup and Internet will continue out the backup path. Site B's Internet has a ASA in place on the DSL line.
Then once Site A comes back online or the Internet there is restored, Site B's default route reverts back to Site A and the rest of the sites follow suit..
Any configuration examples available? Your assistance is much appreciated!

Glad you got it work, yeah the config as stated was just a simple config and expected some tweaking based on your environment. That was just off the top of my head and should have mentioned that. All in all, glad you got it working.

I added a cost of 250 to the default route @ Site B, without it, Site B would automatically use the static route and not get the REAL default route via BGP from Site A.
Using the commands you stated above, the route would get added to the Site C & Site D, but when Site A came back online, Site C&D would revert back but Site B would not revert back for some reason it would stay static. So playing around I removed the neighbor statement in your config ("neighbor x.x.x.x route-map default out")
and added this line below which seems to solve the issue.
neighbor XX.XX.XX.XX default-originate route-map default-route
I'm going to run some more tests this weekend. Thanks for your help!
