I would have either set up two networks. One at each location. Or do 
multihoming to the same provider(s) and have more specific announced to 
them with no-export set (this was what Haesu already proposed).

Everyone who injects more specifics thinks s/he has a good reason to do 
so. But as stated before there is none. Having too little money is the 
worst one.
