If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options I do not have control over the routers I have to route traffic to in this
case and the other end is not willing to make any changes (I don't think
they know how and do not want to admit it)
Anyway the SAA feature is what I was trying to remember, Read about it
before but forgot. I will check it out and maybe will do the job for now
until I can convince the other end to configure their routers with HSRP.
Unfortunatly due to security reasons we can not run dynamic routing.
Thanks,
