RE: ISDN Backup without the backup interface command?

The demand circuit does not suppress LSA's. It only suppresses the hellos
and the Link aging (in turn suppressing the periodic LSA refresh.) With the
demand circuit, the router will dial immediately to establish neighbors and
update it's Link Database and then go quite until a LSA occurs. Keep this
in mind when redistributing other routing protocols as they will generate
LSA's in your OSPF area.

In trying to use the Demand circuit option I still see the dialer dialing.
Debugging Q931 is see that the dial cause is 224.0.0.5 which is all spf
routers. I thought that using an ospf demand circuit should have suppressed
all LSA's from going across this line. Can someone either explain this
behavior or provide a working config that uses demand circuits and only
comes up when the primary link fails? Any debug outputs would be helpful as
well.

thanks
