Default Route Problem

Hello,

I am having a weird problem with our ISA Server.

We have 3 NIC cards in our server.  One NIC is for our
Internal "192" private network.

The other 2 NIC's go to the actual Internet - out 2
separate high-speed connections - for redundancy.

One connection goes out an ISDN connection, and the other
one goes out a Cable Modem connection.  Since the Cable
Modem connection is the fastest one, I have an interface
Metric of "1" on that one - so the high-speed connection
is the default.  I purposely put a Metric of "20" on the
ISDN one, since it's the slower one.

Every couple of days, the default route reverts to the
ISDN connection - which is something we don't want!  Does
anybody have any theories why the machine would activate
the alternate route - especially since it has a Metric of
20 versus 1?

And is there any way to lock in that default route, so it
never goes out the other connection, until it absolutely
has to?

Thanks for any information offered,

Mike
