This way it wins the election if they both come up at the same time but what
if the new comes up first? In that case the new one will become the DR even
though the other one has a higher ID. If you can't access the new router to
set the priority to 0, I don't know of any other way to *guarantee* that it
won't ever become the DR.
Anybody else know a way?

Hi Mac,
Well, if 2 routers have the same priority on a multiaccess segment, the one
with the highest router-id wins and DR election. I would set the priority of
my DR to be 255 and probably set the router-id to be
255.255.255.255 :)
This way if there is a tie in the priority between the new device and my DR,
my preferred DR would have a higher router-id anyway, and it would win the
election.
