Hi Cezar,

Just to clarify, router are being advertised via the serial link, when the
serial link goes down for exampe, the isdn link kicks in and the routes are
propagated. This stays up for a certain period and then the link goes down
even though you have not brought the serial link back up?

Seems that the other side (that is not watching the routes in the table) has
not specified what interesting traffic is.

Eg: "dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit"

If this has been specified, then it could be a bug. Dialer watch can be
very buggy.

Hope it helps,
Navin
