I'm a bit confused.  I posted once and only once...

We run multiple BGP sessions instead.  It's virtually no more work 
(peer-group is your friend!) and gives cleaner results.

CARP/HSRP/VRRP are fine for static-routed boxes.  Using it for BGP, thus 
forcing someone's BGP session to time out and be re-established, isn't 
exactly a great idea.
