Stephen,
Your statement is incorrect. Enabling HSRP on a router does not cause the
standby router to send all packets to the primary. The only things that
enabling HSRP does is:
1) Enable the primary router to answer arp replies and accept/return packets
for the virtual IP address (it does this by creating a virtual MAC to match
the virtual IP)
2) Enable a hearbeat signal so that secondaries can takeover for the primary
in the event of failure
Neither of these things has any effect on the backup HSRP routers ability to
forward IP packets as it normally would. You can still use the secondary
HSRP router as you normally would by sending packets to its real IP. The
secondary routers will forward packets sent to them based on the contents of
their routing table, they will not simply send all traffic over to the
primary router.
I've tested this in real world scenarios before and just re-confirmed it in
my lab.

i have to diasgree....every 3 secs a pulse is sent from the active to
standby.....even if you have a route connected to your standby....when
thestandby gets any routed packets ....HSRP (which is layer 1/2) will send
it to the active master..this wil then route the packets accordingly.......
i`m told ther is a way around this but you will have to search the
archives...it was only a couple of weeks ago
Cheers
