Brian,
You can watch any prefix you like but be careful.
By watching the frame-relay link might not go down ever.
Because sometimes fr-link is line-up protocol-up but traffic does not pass
at all. SO the router still has at his routing table the route for the
connected interface.

So it is better to watch something else regarding your dialer watch prefix.

Subject: dialer-watch: what's your target ?

Hi group,
i'm playing around with dialer-watch in iewb and noticed that, they always
watch loopback interface of the other end router for frame-relay backup.
i do believe that watching the loopback is the most reliable way but i also
have the same result with watching the frame-relay link.
So in the lab, if the question states: "R1 will call R2 if frame-relay
circuit
between them down", what will be your target to watch ?

<eigrp will be routing protocol>
