Hi,

The easiest way to do this is to advertise an aggregate and specific routes
from each location

For example

You have an ISP block of 1.1.0.0/16 and you assign 1.1.1.0/24 to site A and
1.1.2.0/24 to site B. You can advertise 1.1.1.0/24 and the aggregate (
1.1.0.0/16) from site A and 1.1.2.0/24 and the aggregate (1.1.0.0/16) from
site B. This makes sure incoming traffic to 1.1.1.0/24 will always use site
A as it is more specific then the aggregate advertised by site B, you do the
same on site B.If site A ISP link fails, traffic will match the aggregate
advertised from site B and reach site A through B.

H.T.H.
