Sure, you can do this. But why? Why not use per-destination load
balancing instead of paying for an unused link? To achieve your goal,
do exactly as you stated. Setting the AD higher on one of the static
routes will do what you want.
To answer the last question, if a directly connected interface goes
down then all routes that exit that interface are immediately removed
from the routing table. In the case of floating static routes, the
change to the backup default will be instantaneous.

Currently my internet connection is a Cisco 4700 with 2 frame relay
lines.
We do load sharing by having 2 default routes through each link.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0.1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial1.1
This works quite well but we only want to use one link and have the
other
for backup so our ISP will charge a lower rate. I also want to stay
away
from using routing protocols.(its a small network).
Will this work:
Assign a greater adminstrative distance to one of the default routes so
it
will never be used over the desired default route unless the desired
link
goes down.
Also how long does it take for a directly connected route and static
routes
assoicated with an interface to disappear from the routing tables?
Thanks
