Tom,

I don't think a secondary address will help, but there's no reason why you
can't change the primary remote address, I've done it many times. It does
create a short outage, usually less than a minute.

Before you do this, you should go through your configs carefully to make
sure changing the address is not going to break anything else. For example
if you are running a routing protocol and the new addresses are not
configured as part of that protocol, your routing will break.

1. Telnet to the both the local and remote routers.
2. Do an "reload in 10" on the remote router. (just in case)
3. Change the IP address on your remote router. The instant you hit the
Enter key your telnet session will die, but that's ok.
4. Change the IP address on your local router.
5. Telnet to the new remote address (you may want to telnet from the
session on your local router to eliminate any dependency on routing issues).
6. If the telnet is successful, do a "reload cancel". If not, change the
local routers address back and wait for the remote router to reload with
the old address.

If you're careful, you shouldn't have a problem, but you should always
consider the risk if things don't go right.
