Default VPN + ISP Links

Hey guys, new to the forum. Gotta say, i love the CP fw =)
Well My boss has me setting up the fw for isp fail over.

ex:

Internet ---------->10.10.1.1(rt)---> 10.10.1.2(fw)->office
Internet -----------|DSL Backup(rt)12.12.1.1----|12.12.1.2


Now, i have set it up for Primary/Backup, so when the t1 which is the 10.10.1.X link goes down, the DSL Backup takes over. NOW, heres the problem. since it knows the next hop from 10.10.1.2 is 10.10.1.1, if i disconnect the wire that goes from the rt to the fw, it knows and switchs over to the the dsl backup just fine. BUT if i disconnect the wire that goes from the internet to the rt, it doesnt detect!

1) is the detection of the failover before the wire coming out of the router
2) vpn to work as well with the dsl backup on failover?
3) i am trying to figure out how to setup the box for only 1 or maybe in the future more, dns address for our internal email servers for external access.

any help would be greatly apprciated! (sp)

-Luis
