The world is a single point of failure. :->
Seriously, something often overlooked - the ISP's themselves, their
backbones, their peering.
Not too long ago, up in the Sacramento area, some folks found out the hard
way that even though they were dual homed, both ISP's used the same backbone
provider. When that provider had a failure, both ISP's were down ( along
with several others in the area, all of whom used this same Tier 1 as their
backbone )
If the customer really does require "absolute complete redundancy" then you
and they should be doing a lot of research.

Subject: Complete Redundancy [7:8409]
I have a client who needs "absolute" complete redundancy for their Internet
service.
I assume they should be using 2 separate links with different ISPs. What I
don't have hands-on experience with is the physical connections and HSRP.
Will I connect both routers to the local switch and then configure HSRP
between them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
