You'll need fairly current versions (check out Feature Navigator at
www.cisco.com/go/fn) but more importantly, you'll need at least a Sup2 and
512M RAM on your 6500's for the software to do this.

Now, what you didn't spell out is whether this is entirely your network
(e.g. the middle WAN stuff too) or whether there is a service provider
involved. If there's an SP, you can always get them to do all this fancy
stuff for you! :)

Brian, this looks like a good option, but i guess this is supported on
limited platforms and latest IOS..

We are running some IOS which is atleast two years old and i am looking at
doing this on MSFC at one end and 3745 on the other end, so i will need to
explore the support..
