This is certainly a good suggestion, but it won't work for those
sites like mine, where the servers are behind a single
firewall. ( the firewall is an H/A pair, but only one is active at a time).
The firewall doesn't support the idea of multiple default routes, and
for obvious security reasons, we don't want the firewall to accept
dynamic routing updates.
I have gone through several ideas, but I'm really more interested
in whether I can "globally subtract" the last hop count ( the ethernet
between the two routers) from BGP routes that are exchanged between
the two routers. I suspect I can't do this, just wanted the confirmation :)

The obvious solution would be to add a second VRRP address, where the
other M5 is primary, and have half your servers use that one, that is
probably the easiest solution.
