R=2801 Router, A and B are the WAN links.
While having a dual WAN interface is normally not an issue, both of the links use DHCP, so when you attempt to place a track stament on the route, it's not an option if you include gaining the route via DHCP.
Router(config)#no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fastEthernet 0/0.2 dhcp ?
<1-255> Distance metric for this route
<cr>
Router(config)#no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fastEthernet 0/0.2 track 1 ?
<1-255> Distance metric for this route
name Specify name of the next hop
tag Set tag for this route
<cr>
The DHCP statement is definately required yet I can't have tracking and a dhcp based default route. Technically I could create a couple VRFs and have them act as an outside routers and my inside router would not have to get anything from DHCP but that seems a bit convoluted. Has anyone else ran into this and have any idea of a workaround or if there is a fix in a later IOS(currently running 12.4(24)T4).
