Do you have access to configure Rtr C and Rtr D?

Subject: Policy-based Routing (Failover)

Any ideas on handling the following scenario that incorporates 4 routers
and policy-based routing (PBR)?

Rtr A --- Rtr C --- MPLS Carrier 2
   |
Rtr B --- Rtr D --- MPLS Carrier 1

Router A and Router B are directly connected. Router B is the primary
router in an HSRP group with Router A. Router A is connected to Router
C which connects to MPLS carrier 2. Router B is connected to Router D
which connects to MPLS carrier 1. PBR is implemented on the ingress
port of Router B such that all voice traffic is sent to Router D as long
as it is up and to Router A if Router D is down. All other traffic is
sent to Router A as long as it is up and to Router D if Router A is
down. The problem is that from Router B my PBR configuration cannot
detect an MPLS link failure on Router D and automatically redirect all
traffic to Router A. I've implemented PBR because I need to route
packets based on more than just destination network. I'm not
necessarily locked-in to using PBR if there is a better way to
accomplish this. Any thoughts?
