What's the size of the block you are advertising? If say a /20 then you can do that in both then on the side you want traffic on add smaller blocks of that. It will then favor that side. It will fail over that way also.

I'm looking for a failover to be used only if for some reason my primary connection isn't working. I'm not sure if this would include simply losing the BGP peer or if there's another way to detect problems/outage with the primary. My reasoning behind this is that the secondary connection is much smaller (bandwidth). It is enough to carry the customers during a the primary's outage, but I would prefer to avoid day to day traffic on this link.
