Carlos,

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate mate.

Just one last word then.

Is it honest to say that that kind of network would be an example of
poor design as normally, we should be able to have IP connectivity
throughout the network?

Cheers guys,
JP

No, I'm talking about not learning that prefix via the ISDN link.
You can filter some prefixes from specific neighbours...

If your target is to have full time access to R3's loopback, then I
guess is not the best candidate to watch. Try watching a remote link
(may be R2-R3) or have R3 to also advertize a summary that covers the
loopback too.
(You can watch the detail /32 and filter that in the ISDN link, but be
able to receive a more general route that keeps the connectivity
requirement).
