Dual wan routing question

I'm having an issue with my MPLS. I'm not sure the best way to describe it other than an example.

I connect to a website owned by Chrysler.  Sometimes it works, oftentimes  portions of the site do not respond.

My first step is pinging the remote network.  If I get a reply, it is something like  wg.random#.dc.chrysler.com.  If I don't get a reply, I have to wait 10-15 minutes for another server to reply (wg.random#3.dc.chrysler.com).

When I traceroute during a Request timed out, I make it about 4 or 5 hops outside my MPLS router.  My MPLS provider blames it on everyone outside their network.

If I go out my backup ISP provider (Cox fiber), it always works all of the time.

I want to use Cox in 2 situations.  The first is when my MPLS goes down (floating static route).  The second is to send Chrysler traffic out my Cox interface when MPLS to Chrysler fails.

Because there are a ton of destination servers and a large IP range, is it possible to send traffic headed to Chrysler out my Cox interface while keeping all other traffic flowing through my MPLS network?

Do you know the IP address(es) for the web site ?

Jon

No.  The only way I can determine where they are connecting is with a ping. 

They are using a 3rd party to host and I've been unsuccessful in getting the range.  What I do know is that there is a large variance between both the first octect and the second octect.

Okay, i have never done it but i thought maybe you could use NBAR (to match the URL) together with PBR to direct the traffic out over the secondary link.

So a quick search and i found this thread although you may be able to find others. I can't guarantee it will work but it may be worth a try -
