EGP hasn't been in wide use for probably 7 or 8 years now.

I think the real problem with this dynamic link issue and keeping the
connection up is that the default policy is wrong.  You ought to 
specify what sort of traffic is "important" and should cause a
dynamic link to be established (and kept up), rather than trying
to exclude things.

For example, you'd probably not want to have NTP establish or keep
your link up; perhaps not DNS, either.  Probabably you'd want
TCP/SSH or TCP/HTTPD though.
