The dialer-list keeps the OSPF multicast traffic from bringing up the link,
but doesn't deny it from traversing the link. Once the link has been
established once (like by a ping), then the OSPF routes will be learned
and retained.
Normal IP traffic destined for that link (if not denied by an access
list) will then bring up the dialer.
