The dialer watch feature does not need a dialer-list. Dialer watch isn't
based on interesting traffic. Dialer watch triggers the call and resets
the idle-timeout as long as the "watched" route is missing from the
routing table.

If you only want the dialer watch feature to trigger the call then do
not put a dialer-list on the router. If you want certain IP traffic to
also trigger the call then included a dialer-list.

Hi folks,

If you're using dialer-watch in an OSPF environment, and have the
following lines for interesting traffic:

access-list 101 deny ospf any any
access-list 101 permit ip any any
dialer-list 1 protocol ip list 101

then why would you want to configure OSPF Demand Circuits? Shouldn't the
first statement of access-list 101 do the same thing i.e. deny OSPF
Hellos and LSAs from bringing up the link?

Thanks.
