This is exactly what I stumbled upon in real IPSec VPN deployment at one of our 
clients. It was sort of shameful ;)

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] VPN and Dynamic Crypto maps

Hi,

For the people on the track and they havent run into this problem. Normally on 
the CCIE track most of the labs that I have run with are based on Virtual 
templates or static VTIs . However if by any chance you run into an issue where 
you have to configure VPNs using different crypto map instances, make sure that 
always put the dynamic crypto map with the highest (or at least higher) 
Sequence number than the static crypto maps. This is because phase 2 of the VPN 
is not gonna come up. You are going to be able to see that phase 1 is working 
fine, however phase 2 will not be functioning. The other side of the tunnel 
will be able to encrypt packets but on the device with the misconfiguration 
will not be able to create phase 2 and features like RRI are going to be broken.

I has been a while since I didnt create an EZVPN with crypto maps and I had 
totally forgot about it.


"If static and dynamic peers are configured on the same crypto map, the order 
of the crypto map entries is very important. The sequence number of the dynamic 
crypto map entry must be higher than all of the other static crypto map 
entries. If the static entries are numbered higher than the dynamic entry, 
connections with those peers fail."

I wish It would have just failed all the way :(.
