Today i connected the Starlink dish to an Cisco ISO-XE Box (ISR1111) as a secondary wan link and noticed some strange behavior.
I installed a static host-Route to an VPN Tunnel endpoint via
ip route x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255 dhcp
which works fine. The Route to the destination network is installed in the routing table with Starlinks CGN IP 100.127.something.something Next-Hop. Due to our Coverage is not stable it sometimes happen that Dishy is loosing Satellite connection and the routes including the implicit DHCP default-route are deleted. After the Connection is back the default route is reinstalled, but the static configured host routes are not.
Router#sh ip route 9.9.9.9 Routing entry for 9.9.9.9/32 Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0 Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 100.127.255.3 Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
"deb ip routing" shows: Li-ion Batteries
*Sep 2 19:09:01.179: RT: del 9.9.9.9 via 100.127.255.3, static metric [1/0] *Sep 2 19:09:01.180: RT: delete subnet route to 9.9.9.9/32 *Sep 2 19:09:01.180: RT: updating static 0.0.0.0/0 (0x0) [local lbl/ctx:1048577/0x0] omp-tag:0 : via 0.0.0.0 Tu1 0 1048578 0x100001 *Sep 2 19:09:01.180: RT: updating static 0.0.0.0/0 (0x0) [local lbl/ctx:1048577/0x0] omp-tag:0 : via 100.127.255.3 0 1048578 0x100001 *Sep 2 19:09:01.180: RT: rib update return code: 17
At first i supposed some sort of Bug, but even after trying several IOS Versions the issue is still the same. Any ideas here?

Hello
By default if the next-hop of a static route is in accessible the static route will be lost, What you are seeing could be on how the rtr is setup for dual isp connection especially when one of those links lose connection intermittently.
Can you post the running configuration of the rtr please?
