Kay,

Most of the data centre modems like Motorola 3266 support leased line as
well as dial backup. You can configure it to dial multiple destinations. If
the first destination fail to establish the connection, it will try the
second one then third one and so on.

In the Cisco router, let say s0 is leased line, dialer1 is DDR backup. You
can use backup int di1 under int s0 and set up two dialer strings for site B
and site C under int di1.

will this achieve what you are trying to do?
