[j-nsp] Juniper MX5 Advice

[Dave Curado]

Hi Jason,

If having everything in your network going to one MX5 feels less than 
ideal, than you
could do 2 VRRP instances, with each MX5 being the priority router for 
one of the VRRP instances.

Then have half of your network default to the virtual-address of one 
VRRP instance, and
the other half of your network default to the virtual-address of the 
other VRRP instance.

HTHs,
Dave

I am wanting to run the Juniper's in as much of a HA or failover as can be. I have two BGP connections to the outside world. My thought process so far is to terminate one upstream BGP connection into each MX5. Then I was thinking of running a physical link between the two MX5s and run a iBGP session . Then coming off each MX5 would be a VRRP instance that would connect to the rest of my network. This would allow all of my network to only know one default gateway but hopefully allow the MX5's the capability of fully utilize both upstream connections. Is there a better way or any 'gotchas' that comes to mind with the above?
