Paul, In my case I would not want the dialup to be active unless the DSL was down as the Dialup modem will be connected to the fax line. In my current configuration when I manually switch between DSL and EVDO routers, I switch the IP addresses so that the active device is always at the same address. This allows the connected machines to access the gateway without needing to hit the DHCP server.
