I need an internet gateway router (via DSL connected to a Flowpoint) which currently has a static route to the ISP to know when the netowrk goes down and not just that flowpoint's local ethernet interface. I need the gateway router to dial up via isdn using dialer-watch. I'd rathernot use BGP on

Could you solve the same problem by creating a static default route on the ASBR and then redistributing that as an N1 or N2 route? That seems to do what you want without requiring that OSPF be running between the ASBR and the ISP. This wouldn't be dynamic, which may be what you're trying to acco

Is it feasable to have an ISP set up an OSPF routing area with it's customer, and have them inject a single external route into the area, where one can distribute it as a default route? If I create a NSSA, and they give us a route to them, is that OK? Any downfalls? Steve Message Posted at:
