This will answer most of your questions. Are there any issue's, huh,
do a bug search on HSRP!!! Bugs are the primary reason I have used the
BIA. I have set up HSRP several times between 65xx's and it has
generaly worked well though there are some potential issues because of
the differance in the ARP timeout values of the 6500 OS, 5 minutes, and
the MSFC, 4 hours.

Swap customer with public if you don't have an account.
