 Hi Tom,
The HSRP load balancing solution should work also. It all depends on what the o
bjective is you need to fill. If you want a primary/backup scenario HSRP or nor
mal iBGP peering will work fine. If you are running iBGP and want to utilize b
oth peer routers at the same time for data traffic than you can use Multipath i
BGP. It's all about meeting your customer's objective. :)
thanx,
chris hugo

Thanks for your reply. And I thought out a more better
way, but I couldn't besure it will working.
I could set r1 and r2 be a HSRP peer. The virtual ip
address is the gateway. Although it couldn't load balance,
but it could be backup routing by setting the prority of
r1&r2. Right?

Thanks
