RE: HSRP

Picture 2 routers, each with a single connection to the LAN (where the
HSRP is run) and a single WAN connection, each to the same destination.
You want router 'A' to be the active HSRP router, because it's WAN
connection is a DS-3. Router 'B' has a T1. So you tell router 'A' to
preempt, because if the DS-3 is up, you want it to assume the HSRP
address right away. On the other hand, if 'B' becomes the higher
priority HSRP router, it's because 'A' lowered it's priority due to the
tracking of the failed DS-3. So you'd want 'B' to be able to preempt
also. Hope that clears it up.

Is there any practical example you can give. Why would you want to
configure preempt at both ends if tracking is configured.
