Did you tie your SLA to an EEM applet or script or what? Too many
variables to know what the best choice might be in your given network
topology but one rather simplistic brute-force approach might be to
establish reachability SLAs to your servers and have routes advertised
into the network based on the condition of those SLAs. You could use
prefix length or metrics or whatever to steer traffic to the primary
when it's up and to the secondary when it's not. Not very elegant and
reconvergence isn't going to be exactly snappy but that's one passing
idea, anyway.

It's been a handful of years now but I once grappled with a Mobile IP
design and ultimately wound up shelving it and deployed a fairly
complex blend of DMVPN and SLAs in it's place. Mobile IP minimally
does what it's supposed to and not much else. Both High Availability
and robust security features are lacking, IMHO. I haven't really
looked into IPv6 Mobile IP but I understand some of the IPv4
shortcomings have been or are being addressed. Guess I'll put one
more thing on my list of stuff I need to read up on...
