i havent done this on a PIX / router link, only router to router, but i have
some suggestions about design.
why not have the tunnel up all the time and let the routing protocol sort
out which is the best path?
adding a dialler is just making life more complicated.
"Dial up" of any kind for backup if complicated since if the main link is
reliable, you dont use the backup very often. Given a realistic fault rate
there is a good chance the backup would fail when you most need it.
and if the tunnel is always meant to be there, you can test it for carrying
traffic without breaking the main link.
the "cost" is some keepalives down your DSL link.
