tracking a remote ip address with HSRP

Hi group,
 
I am trying to track a remote interface (ip address) with standard HSRP.
I am aware of the IP HOST TRACKING feature in 12.3(4)T, but my router can't run that version.
So i am trying a "workaround" with a tunnel, something like:
 
int Tunnel 0
  tunnel source Fa0/0
  tunnel destination 4.4.4.2
int fa0/0
  standby 1 track Tunnel0
 
 
4.4.4.2 is the ip address of a remote interface, if it goes down, the 4.4.4.0/30 route disappears from the routing table
and the tunnel should go down and HSRP should switch from master to backup. That is the theory.
 
The problem i am still having is: the default route !
When the specific route disappears, the tunnel destination hits the default route, and the tunnel stays up. Damned......
Any way to work around this ??
 
 
regards,
Geert
