HSRP tracking of Frame Relay physical interface

Hi Group,

I have a HSRP and frame relay setup as follows:

R5 (fa0/0)--------(fa0/0) R1 (s0/0/0)------FrameRelay------(s0/0/0.125 mp)
R2

R1:
int s0/0/0
 ip add 10.10.125.1 255.255.255.0
 enca fram
 no frame inver
 fram map ip 10.10.125.2 102 br
!
int f0/0
 ip add 10.10.15.1 255.255.255.0
 stand 1 ip 10.10.15.254
 stand 1 prio 110
 stand 1 preempt
 stand 1 track Serial0/0/0 20
!

R5:
int fa0/0
 ip add 10.10.15.5 255.255.255.0
 stand 1 ip 10.10.15.254
 stand 1 preempt
!

Say, R5 need to take over the HSRP active role if R1's frame relay
connection is down. I understand that if we have a frame relay connection
using physical interface, the interface will never go down as long as LMI is
working fine.

In this case, the HSRP tracking is effective if int s0/0/0 itself is down
but not when int s0/0/0 on R2 is down. Correct me if I'm wrong. To work
around, are you bothered to configure a GRE tunnel (with keepalive) between
R1 and R2 and track this tunnel interface in HSRP on R1?

I may be overthinking. I'd like to hear your opinion. It's best to clarify
with the proctor in the real lab to clear any ambiguity.

Thank you.

BR,
Emil
