Policy-based routing

Can anyone provide feedback on the following policy-based routing scenario...

Router-A (primary) and Router-B (secondary) share a comman ethernet segment. Router-A has an ATM connection to Router-C. Router-B has a Frame Relay connection to Router-C. HSRP is configured on Router-A and Router-B such that Router-A is primary. I want to policy route all HTTP (TCP port 80) over the Frame Relay link on Router-B as long is it is up and active. If it goes down all HTTP traffic should be routed over the ATM link on Router-A. I've configured basic policy routing on Router-A that sends all HTTP traffic to Router-B but problems arise when the Frame Relay goes down. Any suggesions on how to configure policy routing for this scenario?

we have no way inside policy routing to discover that the FR is down.

One solution could be to configure a gre tunnel between B and C over Frame-Relay (using loopback addresses as source).

When the FR goes down, the GRE tunnel traffic is re-routed to router A / ATM.

Routing can be done easily with 2 static routes.

ip route router-c-loopback 255.255.255.255 router-c-fr-ip

ip route router-c-loopback 255.255.255.255 router-a-ethernet
