Ben,
Here is a quote from the command reference:
The dialer load-threshold command is used to enable a rotary group to
bring up additional links and to add them to a multilink bundle.
When multilink PPP is configured, dialer-load threshold 1 command no
longer keeps a multilink bundle of n links connected indefinitely and
the dialer-load threshold 2 command no longer keeps a multilink bundle
of 2 links connected indefinitely. If you want a multilink bundle to
be connected indefinitely, you must set a very high idle timer.
Example
The following partial example configures a dialer for Multilink PPP;
it does not show the configuration of the physical interfaces.
interface Dialer0
ip address 99.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
encapsulation ppp
dialer in-band
dialer idle-timeout 500
dialer map ip 99.0.0.1 name atlanta broadcast 81012345678901
dialer load-threshold 30 either
dialer-group 1
ppp authentication chap
ppp multilink

Hi Guys, I'm 2 days away.....
I have an issue I can't get past with Multilink PPP.
I am using a dialer profile on both routers. Their configs are
identical as follows:
interface BRI0
no ip address
isdn spid1 0835866101 8358661
isdn spid2 0835866301 8358663
dialer pool-member 1
!
interface Dialer0
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation ppp
dialer remote-name r2504
dialer string 8358662
dialer load-threshold 1 either
dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
ppp multilink
Interesting traffic will bring the first channel up, then one side or
the other will bring the other channel up. The problem is that my
idle-timeouts never match. They don't match with each other or with
the remote side. So what happens is that one channel will reach
idle-timeout (120 sec) and drop the connection. Then immediately the
other side will bring it back up again. It's got me perplexed. I can
be sending pings across the line and the idle time-out on one of the
channels is updated but not both. And then the other channel will go
down and up...etc.
Here is a sh dialer snippet to show my point.
BRI0:1 - dialer type = ISDN
Idle timer (120 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs)
Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs)
Dialer state is data link layer up
Interface bound to profile Dialer0
Time until disconnect 52 secs
Connected to 8358662
BRI0:2 - dialer type = ISDN
Idle timer (120 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs)
Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs)
Dialer state is data link layer up
Dial reason: Dialing on overload
Interface bound to profile Dialer0
Time until disconnect 118 secs
Current call connected 00:01:05
Connected to 8358662
I've only got 2 days left....
