Sorry, but where exactly does it say that _lower_ preference is
preferred? I could not find it in that link you included above. I quote
from your link: "A higher value increases the preference level of the
router."
Also RFC 1256 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1256.html states the
following:
Preference Level[i], The preferability of each Router Address[i]
i = 1..Num Addrs as a default router address, relative to
other router addresses on the same subnet.
A signed, twos-complement value; higher
values mean more preferable.
Perhaps you just misread the documentation or the RFC?
HTH,
Jonathan
