without knowing more about your network layout, I couldn't say
what is better or worse, but since you called both pipelines
routers, I'll assume you aren't bridging anything,
and probably have a subnetted address block split over the
LAN and remote offices.
You could use RIP-2 to propagate routes between the two
pipelines and set the ISP-connected box as default
both for the LAN users and for the old pipeline.
you could also set the old pipeline as default for LAN users,
and set the new pipeline as the default on the old pipeline,
although this will take a few extra milliseconds to route
the packet from one box to the other until ICMP redirects take over,
and would still require a static route on the new pipeline
pointing to any routes used through the old pipeline in order
for Internet traffic to be able to reach the remote users.
