Lots of solutions. Consider hardware appliances especially
given requirements for different segments. Check out the
Big-IP from F5 (www.f5.com). Nokia just bought 10% of F5
so you'll soon see some integration there too. You definitely
do not want a multicast failover (Stonebeat) with multiple
segments - the traffic will bury them. HSRP needs to be local.
