Hmm... no responses posted to date.
I think one of my colleagues responded directly to the poster. We do it by a daemon he wrote that monitors interface link status, and also pingability of default gateways, and reconfigures interfaces in event of a failure, based on the normal configuration file settings (/etc/rc.conf)

Instantly in event of link loss; after a few seconds of retrying in event of router loss (we use HSRP addresses for routers.)
Yes, I got a few responses including the one mentioned above. Lack of time and changing priorities has prevented me from following up on them. Anshuman Kanwar did mentioned he might release his solution as open source if there was interest. I am at least interested in reviewing it. I just need to find the time.
