Default Re: Routing and automatic failover

If the other side is NGX, take a look at route based VPN basically what you end up doing is keeping the p2p line and add an IP-in-IP tunnel. Using the routing protocol of your choice (OSPF/RIPv2/BGP/PIM/??) you weight the routes so if the p2p is up it gets used, if it goes away the VPN gets used.

Its a PIA to set up the first time, but it does work well.
