 Single Redundancy Mode is a better choice. This is what TAC is recommending
now. The configuration is much simpler and there will be no need for HSRP.
Here is a link on SRM for additional info. the word is HA/Config Sync was a
work around until SRM comes out for those wanting instant failover between
MSFCs as well as ease of configuration.

That is what I said. Eiterh configure it using the high availability config
synch
ie. (this IS SRM configuration)

interface vlan 2
ip add x.x.x.x x.x.x.x secondary ip add x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
standby ip x.x.x.x secondary standby ip x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

interface flexwan(ATM0)
ip add x.x.x.x x.x.x.x secondary ip add x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

Or you configure the active MSFC with flexwan. Failover, configure the
secondary MSFC with the flexwan. Then fail back.
