[nsp] Proper way of doing dial backup for an ethernet(DSL) link

[Brad Bonin (bbonin)]

Sounds like a question I had on my ccie exam a few years back.

The trick was to use an ospf demand circuit over the backup
connection....

Or you could use another routing protocol and dink around with Admin
Distances....

If your eth0 will never go down, the floating route will not work. so me
be is better to use a simple and FAST routing protocol. (we should
reconfigure protocolo's time)
