[c-nsp] an example DSL configuration

[Scott Granados]

Right, in a PPPOE config though wouldn't one have an up down situation if
say an ATM switch mid way failed or the BRAS on the far end went out to
lunch?  Thanks for the pointers and the link.

Havent used PPPoE myself but we do use PPPoA on DSL. The only caveat we
found when creating redundant configs (DSL + ISDN in our case) is that the
dialer used for the DSL is always "up up" so a simple floating static to the
second circuit never kicks in.

Possible solutions are to run dynamic routing on the primary (if you control
both ends) or use the "track interface ip routing" state of the dialer
interface, assuming the dialer gets its IP address from the far end during
PPP/IPCP.
