I have the same problem - a location record (outbound) on a PM-2 (ISDN)
with the incoming data handled by a PM-3 with an inbound PRI only. The
only workaround is to set the location Type: Manual. The other problem
is that my core/backbone router will see these 2 routes as equal
priority and load share between them. This means that the user will
loose every other packet unless there is an active session outbound from
the PM-2 and one active inbound via the PM-3 (at the same time).
The solution is - as pointed out above - to be able to set preferences
on each route; but I don't think thats possible with the PortMaster
(products) currently?
It looks like we need another command interface to the OSPF layer to set
preferences on a per route basis?
