We do this for one of our customers -- namely they are connected to one
provider who supplies their non-portable Class-C address-space.  They are
also connected to a secondary provider who, through an agreement between
the two providers, announces a more specific route ("weighted higher") than
the primary.  When the primary connection takes a dump, BGP kicks over
to the secondary.

I came in on the tail-end of the thread so please don't hate me if I missed
your entire point -- I just thought that perhaps I could offer my experience.
