James, R5's Fast0/0 could be down but R3's Fast 0/0 not. How could R3 know
if R5's Ethernet is down ?

We have ISIS already. A pity that ISIS on demand does not exists :)

The fa0/0 of R5 is also fa0/0 of R3, both sitting on the same ethernet
network
with ISDN circuit suppose to be "backup."

I think this question is just a little bit messy in the wording :P

But, since we like challenges however..

The dialer-watch idea I think is shot down upon realization that both
routers
share the same connected network.

How about running OSPF w/ demand circuit in between, in a totally seperate
process and its own area 0 accross the ISDN, so that topology changes on the
primary ospf network in R3 won't trigger the ISDN activation. But FA0/0
outage on R5 would, which would then cause CLNS to establish adjacency..?

Thanks again!
