One late comment -- OP stated that the companies were exchanging 'sensitive' traffic. I suspect that they di *NOT* want this traffic to route over the public internet -if- he private point-to-point link goes down. if they're running any sort of a dynamic/active routing protocol then -that- route is going to disappear if/*WHEN* the private link goes down, and the packets will be subject to whatever other routing rules -- e.g. a 'default' route -- are in place. This would seem to be a compelling reason to use a static route -- insuring that traffic _fails_ to route, instead of failing over to a public internet route, in the event of a link failure.
