Assuming your upstream knows how to get to the other location.

You want city "A" with upstream "X" to send all inter-AS traffic
while your pipe to "X" is up.  When it fails, you want location
"A" traffic to go over your internal link to location "B", which
uses upstream "Y".

If your inter-city link fails, "B" should use "Y" for all
inter-AS traffic, and you _somehow_ need "A" and "B" to
communicate.

As long as this is getting messy... I'm tempted to suggest
confederations.  Or spending a few extra bucks on a second ASN,
although that doesn't scale.
