Hugo, thanks for your feedback.  Yes, dynamic routing is only a part of the
solution, unfortunately.  If the LAN connection goes out on either the
router or Nokia, then I'm SOL and routing does nothing...

VRRP is not an open standard. In fact it's existance as RFC is debatable 
at best. VRRP is buried under patents. The head of the actual RFC tells 
you it is only a document after the fact.

You need a dynamic routing solution and NOT VRRP! It is that simple. If 
you can not access the Nokia knowledgebase I am afraid you are out of luck 
here.
