OSPF ASA 5520 in failover mode

Okay guys so I'm sort of in a predicament. I currently have a set of firewalls in active standby configuration running an ospf process injecting a default route into the rest of my network.

I noticed when i was testing the failover that the asa's do not actually pass the route tables on failover, thus forcing the need to wait for routes to converge and for the default route to be advertised back into the network. This of course is not acceptable.

Is there a way around this or do I have to setup static default routes on every device in my network. I am trying to avoid setting up default routes on all of the devices because due to the setup of my network I have equal cost links configured in the event of hardware or link failure. So the devices then see an advertised default route from multiple paths.

Any help would be appreciated.

In a failover configuration, the two units must have the same hardware configuration They must be the same model, have the same number and types of interfaces, and the same amount of RAM.

Note The two units do not have to have the same size Flash memory. If using
