HSRP and MLS/Routing Traffic question

Hi,

it was too long ago with MLS and MSFC .. so i forgot the answer :-)

Starting Scenario:

Two 6500/Sup720 "Routers" with HSRP about 20 VLANs and three more 6500/Sup720 "Switches" only in Layer 2 with the same VLANs and redundant Uplinks to the "Routers"

Traffic: Outer-VLAN-Traffic from the "Switches" goes over the Uplinks to the "Routers" an maybe go back to the "Switches" on same Uplink to the destination (If connected at the same switch)

Problem: High Uplink Utilization

Solution?/End-Scenario: Activated HSRP Group on all of the 6500/Sup720s (Trunked)

My Questions: Does the HSRP passive 6500/Sup720 forward traffic switchinternal or does he send all the subnet traffic to the active HSRP Router and back, like before ? Otherwise what Gateway Redundancy protocol will solve my problem that the switch can forward the traffic internal to get more performance?

Thanks for suggestions!
