Multihome ISP Redundancy Question

Hi Guys,

I have a client wants to deploy Internet redundancy. They multihomed
Internet in two different locations. Router 1 and Router2 connect via
private ckt. Currently, their traffic all route to [1] location, then access
Internet. Here is the goal:

1. Do not use BGP;
2. Still using [1] as primary Internet access;
3. When upstream1 unavailable, Internet traffic need dynamically route to
[2]

I am thinking float static ip routing on router 1 with EIGRP with router2,
but it looks like not going to work. Is it possible to accomplish it without
BGP? If not, what 3rd party appliance do you recommend to use?

Location [1] Location [2]

                 (Internet)
   upstream1 upstream2
       | |
      fw1 fw2
       | |
  router1 ------------------- router2
