Redundant Colocation Setup

How can I suitable handle a bunch of colocation (server) customers, all with their own /30 transfernets and vlans in consideration of that the only SPOF should be the _first_ switch they are connected to. Possible setup without L2 redundancy:

NO REDUNDANCY | L3 IGP(OSPF) REDUNDANCY ================================================================ +-----+ CUST1---VL1-----|L2-SW| CUST2---VL2-----| 1 | CUST3---VL3-----| | lnk1 +----------+ ... | |---TRUNK1-----|L3-COLO-GW|--->IP-100/UPLINK1-->

+-----+ | | +---| |--->IP-101/UPLINK2--> +-----+ | +----------+ CUST11---VL11---|L2-SW| | VL1/IP-1 CUST12---VL12---| 2 | | VL2/IP-2 CUST13---VL13---| | lnk2 | VL3/IP-3 ... | |---TRUNK2-+ VL11/IP-11 +-----+ ...

Is a L2-redundancy/HSRP setup towards the customer with a second L3-COLO-GW (4908G-L3) in this situation possible? Thx for any hints to my brain ;-)

I thought a distinct HSRP instance for each customer/vlan is something I can not deploy because most of them have a /30 transfernet (HSRP = at least 6 IP's? customer, gw1, gw2, virtual, net, broadcast). Furthermore I'am afraid concerning the max count of HSRP instances per L3 system when thinking about ~100..200 customers/vlans.

Ok, sounds interesting - what did that mean? I've searched for some reference designs but all I found is HSRP for such 'dummy' servers.

Yes, but you'll need to do it for each vlan on the l3-colo-gw's and ensure they can see each other at layer 2. Easier to manage if you can trunk the l2's together and let PVST do it's thing.
