You gotta make the idle-timeout some rediculously high value that's all.
I don't have the exact link, but it is documented this way on CCO in at
least one link.

Subject: Re: ISDN Backup With Dialer Watch

 From my experiments, the dialer watch will hang up at the dialer idle
timeout and nothing seems to change this. An interesting scenario I've
tried is to use dialer watch but ensure that my routing protocol is
denied
as interesting traffic with all else permitted. In this case, when the
primary interface goes down, dialer watch brings up the BRI interface.
The
routing protocol (OSPF in my case) then established an neighbor
adjacency
across the BRI. If I recall correctly, when the BRI hung up, OSPF
appeared
to start to spoof and the routing table still showed the BRI as the next

hop. Note also that in this scenario the hellos did not bring up the
interface (not interesting traffic) but the adjacency remained
intact. However, if you then ping or telnet, the BRI would dial (is
interesting traffic) and all would work fine.
