| If I have 2 ethernet interfaces, 1 on each router, configured for HSRP. Can I still use the Real IP address of the Standby router to send traffic to?
I have half the LAN pointing to the Virtual IP and want half the LAN pointing the 2ndary router's standby interface's real ip address... is this ok to do? Can't remember.thx. | |

You can do that, but why? It would be better to set up two virtual interfaces with the primary of each on a different router. Your way could lose half the PCs if a router went down, but what I suggest will keep all up while still load balancing. | |

| Well, 1 router is using Frame Relay and the 2nd router is using IPVPN w/ split tunneling.... I want to have web users able to use router 2 and Production traffic go over router 1 (primary router of hsrp). if the link to router 1 fails, prod traffic will run over the IPVPN on router 2. | |

That is what I was describing. Set up two virtual gateways. Point one at each router. Each would have failover to the other router. Any single router failure would not cause failure of half the PCs as would the way you set it up. | |

| No, maybe I wasn't clear... Not using mHSRP or multi instances of HSRP... I just want to back up my Frame Relay router with the IPVPN router BUT I also want web surfers to use the backup IPVPN router for internet access. Just 1 HSRP configured, with FR router primary. So for my proprietary App users go over the FR router via default gateway of the virtual IP and the internet users to the real IP address of the IPVPN router.
Sorry for the confusion, can this be done? | |

| sounds like you need policy routing ...not hsrp.
all hsrp provides is a fault-tolerant gateway. |
