Hi all,
I would say that it's not normal with dialer watch that the expiration of the dialer idle-timeout timer brings down the circuit (if the primary is down). For my understanding with dialer watch every time the dialer idle-timeout timer expires it is checked whether the primary link is up.
See at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk133/technologies_tech_note09186a008009457d.shtml#dw_operation
in section Dialer Watch Operation:
---snip---
Since the router uses the interesting traffic definition ONLY to check whether the primary link is active, consider making all IP traffic uninteresting using the command dialer-list number protocol ip deny. With this interesting traffic definition, the idle timeout will never be reset, and the router will check the status of the primary link at the specified interval.
---snap---
Other behavior I think is a bug.
In the same document:

Note: It is recommenced that you use Cisco IOS Software Release12.1(7) or higher, which includes fixes for IOS bugs that affect dialer watch.
---snap---
Best regards,
Stefan
