Jason, Lots! Basically your network looks like this: PER m10/ \m10 AB m10
Let's say a metric of 10 for each link for example? A->PER = 10 A->B->PER = 20 Before we get really far into this, have you looked into EIGRP's capability to load balance across unequal cost paths? Modifying the variance on your CE routers should do the trick. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrp1.html http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrp9.html http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/19.html One question though when you do this: I have not tried a HSRP impelmentation like this. Variance should be local to the router. Please let me know if Router A changes the way it advertises its metrics to router B once variance is implemented.

I am trying to load balance/share across the links to the PER (per-packet preferably). The clients are behind Rtr A & B using an HSRP address. So say Rtr A is the active router. I want to load balance across both links (half of the traffic needs to traverse out Rtr A's ser0 and the other half across the link to Rtr B and then out it's ser0). If I use a static and one link goes down, half of my traffic becomes blackholed. I was trying to find a way to have a default route put into a routing protocol so the routing process would recognize that if one link was down that it needed to send all traffic out the remaining link. Is this clearer?
