The option "dialer" after "snapshot server 5" is tell the snapshot
process by which method to learn who is the snapshot client (the peer)

In your R2

    interface BRI0
     ip address 172.1.4.1 255.255.255.0
     encapsulation ppp
     isdn spid1 0835866101 8358661
     isdn spid2 0835866301 8358663
     dialer idle-timeout 300
     dialer map ip 172.1.4.2 broadcast 8358662
     dialer load-threshold 1 either
     dialer-group 1
     snapshot server 5 dialer
     no fair-queue
     ppp multilink
     no shutdown

when you delete the "dialer" option, the snapshot process will have no idea
about who make the connection, the snapshot process will try to bring up
another connection using "dialer map ip 172.1.4.2 broadcast 8358662"
statement for its routing purpose instead of utilizing the already connected
channel.

solution 1:
give snapshot process some other methed to identify the connection, say,
give dialer map a remote-connection-name, and uses chap or pap to identify
the connection by connection name. like this:

    username R3 password 0 cisco

    interface BRI0
     ip address 172.1.4.1 255.255.255.0
     encapsulation ppp
     isdn spid1 0835866101 8358661
     isdn spid2 0835866301 8358663
     dialer idle-timeout 300
     dialer map ip 172.1.4.2 name R3 broadcast 8358662
     dialer load-threshold 1 either
     dialer-group 1
     snapshot server 5
     no fair-queue
     ppp multilink
     ppp auth chap
     no shutdown

solution 2:

use dialer profile, unlike physical interface may defind mutiple dialer map
statement (making a physical BRI interface to be a point-to-multipoint
style). a dialer profile define a pure point-to-point connection (since
only one dialer string may defined in a dialer), snapshot process will not
confused in such a enviroement.

    interface BRI0
     no ip address
     encapsulation ppp
     isdn spid1 0835866101 8358661
     isdn spid2 0835866301 8358663
     dialer pool-member 1
     ppp multilink

    interface Dialer 1
     ip address 172.1.4.1 255.255.255.0
     dialer idle-timeout 300
     dialer remote-name R3
     dialer pool 1
     dialer string 8358662
     dialer load-threshold 1 either
     dialer-group 1
     snapshot server 5
     ppp multilink

I have repeat the problem and test both configs on my test bed(with
defferent ISDN No.), both works.

I suppose if your ISDN switch can send correct caller ID, your config will
work without any change when delete "dialer" option.
