IMHO, if two access routers on different PoP are
required running OSPF is not a good idea. But, you
could run two OSPF process on the same router, one for
our backbone the other for customers. Defualt route
could be inject into customer's network , while your
main ospf process could only accpet network summary
from customer OSPF process. 

On the other hand, if your network has a L2 switch
network 'below' layer3 network, you could just connect
the two customer site to the same VLAN which spans to
two access point. VRRP could be established to
guarantee service availability.
