Sounds like multiple VRFs, deploy multiple VRFs at each site and have them follow the default back to devices which can groom the VRFs out and route between them (perhaps applying ACLs or firewall policy), you can distribute these devices such to improve performance (follow least cost IGP path to next hop for egress from VRF) and give you a bit of redundancy. > _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
