Kenneth, you passed before the book was edited I think :)
"CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs".

James,

it does not say "must" but "should only pass a routing protocol if fast0/0
is down".

But yes, I think you are right and dialer watch should do the job. Although
I find it weird to watch a directly connected interface. Is this good
practice ?

James,

Which practice lab workbook is this from? I've purchased almost all of
them so I should be able to reference the diagram to answer your
question.

Thanks! :)

But ISIS must activate when fa0/0 goes down? :P

I am pretty new in the ISDN field as my experience never used it in the
past. So I ask -- would using dialer-watch also prevent pinging accross
the
ISDN circuit when fa0/0 is up and running, like backup command does?

Thanks for all the good replies!
