I think they know better than to try to flap BGP routing
around to accomodate a failed computer at one site or
another, though.  Is that what you are suggesting? 

BGP would normally be used to handle routing over multiple
paths to a fixed location and would change in response to
the route availability.  You can play tricks by shuffling
a route to a completely new destination if a whole site fails
but the minimum you could move would be a whole class
C at a time, and some bad things will happen during the
switch as different machines with the old IP's become visible.
