Hi Ali,

You shouldn't need to use the DX in us-east-2 specifically. With two Direct Connects, they would connect to your Direct Connect Gateway, then the underlying IP routing would handle the access between your on-premise networks and the target VPC. You would be able to connect to multiple VPCs with this architecture. Below is a diagram for reference.

Hope this helps! DX diagram

Also take a look at this Hybrid Connectivity Whitepaper: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/hybrid-connectivity/aws-dx-dxgw-with-vgw-multi-regions-and-aws-public-peering.html

Below are some of the examples of how the topology would look like. A Direct Connect gateway is a globally available resource. You can create the Direct Connect gateway in any Region and access it from all other Regions.

With redundancy the connectivity using DXGW would look like this:

If you are using TGW it would look like this:
