GRE tunnel problem

I have a very basic tunnel set up between 2 2800 series routers (IOS

12.4(24)T).

near end router int tu0 no ip address keepalive 10 3 tunnel source fa0/1 tunnel destination [far end routers fa0/1 routable IP]

far end router int tu0 no ip address keepalive 10 3 tunnel source fa0/1 tunnel destination [near end routers fa0/1 routable IP]

This all works just fine except if the link goes down. If that happens the tunnel doesn't automatically recover when the link comes back up. The only way I have found to get the tunnel back is to manually delete and rebuild the tunnel config in one of the routers.

Am I missing something?

Thanks -Rob-
