RE: OSPF over async

I haven't tried this (with an async that is), but to have the async
come down you will need to configure it for DDR. If the link's normal
behaviour is to be down & brought up by interesting traffic, then you
have mostly won with this. Then the ospf demand-circuit can do its job
properly.
Otherwise I don't think you'll be able to see this work. The ospf
demand-circuit
only works on DDR links as it suppresses the periodic hellos and LSA updates
that would otherwise bring the circuit up or cause a time-out problem for
ospf. Like a snapshot in concept.
