If the private link between the two sites fails, will BGP allow for us to access the IP subnets at site 2 from site 1 via the internet given that both sites are advertising under the same ASN?
Maybe. Especially if both sites are connected to the same ISP, you can tweak some BGP knobs to allow your own ASN to appear in the AS PATH N times where N > 1, and accept the routes anyway.
For some reason, I see that as being a configuration method that would quickly be forgotten about, and later cause major headaches trying to troubleshoot. Steve
