It can work in this way..

Site A -- has one major prefix..
Site B --- has one major prefix

Like/24..which you wanna give to both ISP frm site A and Site B..

What you can do is when you are giving these 2 prefixes from site A, you can prepend..prefix of site B and give it to IsP..
In same way..you can give site A prepended prefix from site B, this will make incoming traffic to particular site from ISP end..Use network command to advertise it..this is for future use whenever some thing goes down..inside your core..and the prefixes..of particular site is lost..and for outgoing traffic you can setup some..ways below your switch...from where the traffic is getting sourced from...

Correct me if any views on this

Hi Jay,

I will be accepting only default from ISP. To load share the traffic from
ISP's i'll be announcing split the prefix in two and announce to both the
ISP's with AS prepend.

Cheers,
Nick
