Alec,
You have to consider the F.R. switch on this scenario. The backup
interface will come up only if the physical link between R1 and
the frame-relay switch goes physically down. One way to simulate
this is to access the frame-relay switch (if you can) and shutdown
the interface to which R1 connects (shut/no shut on R1's serial
will not work). Obviously doing so will also kill your PVC to R3.
In other words, the backup interface will only come up if R1 looses
connectivity to the FR switch, and since in your case R1 uses a
multipoint subinterface, if this link goes down, so will your PVC
to R3...
HTH,
Enrico
