[c-nsp] Redundant default route, without round-robin routing

Dear all,
I've configured something similar a few days ago with one customer running OSPF
as internal protocol.
We've installed two links between us and the customer (two different border routers),
one acting as backup (only active when the main one fails).
We've configured two BGP sessions with each of the customer routers, using local
preference to prefer the main link. Also the customer uses local preference to prefer
the main link. We only advertise default route and we receive all the customer
routes (the customer forces the advertisement using static routes to null with a
poor metric).
Inside the customer it's configured an iBGP session between the two border routers
in order to pass the default route between them. Then, each border router receives
the default route via eBGP (from us) an iBGP (from the other border router). With
the local preference, the main link is prefered.
The defaul route inside the customer is distributed in the OSPF cloud using
"default-information originate allways".
At normal situation the main link is used: all traffic inside the OSPF cloud reach
one of the border routers, and then the border router send it directly to us or (if it's
the backup one) to the other border router.
If the main link fails all customer traffic flow to the backup border router and then
to us.
The solution works fine ;)!
Regards,
Dario D.
