Backup Connection Monitoring

[Michael J. Hartwick]

Hi,

I have a DSL line with a dial backup. The DSL connection occasionally 
gets into a strange state. Ideally I would like to have Nagios detect 
the dial backup connection come up and run a script that can login to 
the DSL connection and reset the interface. The script should be easy 
enough to do. Detecting when the dial backup connection comes up is 
easy, the problem is the connection is normally down. I have the dial 
backup and the DSL connection as parents to the servers behind them. 
When I am running on the DSL connection (most of the time) Nagios 
shows a blocking outage.

Does anyone know any way to configure Nagios around this problem?

Michael
