Actually, with release 11.0(x) on 1000-series (can't confirm on other routers), unnumbered will still work with downed ethernet. We use ip unnumbered on all remote ISDN and frame routers for cisco's employees. Even if the remote Ethernet interface is up/down or admin-down/down, we can still reach the router over the BRI interface or serial interface. I know that older IOS releases wouldn't let you, though. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
