1. Make sure both Pipes are speaking RIP v2 on their Ethernets.

2. Set the metrics in this order of preference:
  1. DSLPipe
  2. Pipe50
  3. DSLPipe downmetric
  4. Pipe50 downmetric

3. Set the default routes Private=No so they get advertised.

4. Set the default route/connection profile metrics on the backup Pipe to
be less appealing than those on the primary Pipe.

Did I miss anything, anyone?
