ipip Tunnels always up?

Hello all

I'm trying to find a way to make a simple ipip Tunnel go down when the remote router isn't online.

I need this because I have a remote router with two WANs directly connected to the same remote site. From my local router I've set up 2 Tunnels IPIP to both those WANs, then I've set up 2 static routes to that remote site with different "distances". The problem is, when one of the remote WANs is down, no matter what, both tunnels stay up according to the local router, so it still tries to forward traffic to the tunnel with the lowest distance, even if that is the broken link.

I even created a Tunnel with a non-existent destination ip, and the router still says the Tunnel is up! I also tried fiddling with the keepalives and other options inside the tunnel configuration to no avail...

any help is greatly appreciated TIA
