Dialer Profiles. (Question #50)

The following routers are connected back-to-back with ISDN PRI network-side simulation configured on one end. With the configuration shown below, pings to the far end IP addresses fail. However if the dialer2 interface is unconfigured from both routers, then the call comes up and the other end can be pinged. The same is true if the dialer1 interface is removed from both routers. If both dialer interfaces are configured as below on both routers, then no pings succeed and calls do not come up.

What is the problem here and how can it be fixed?

Comments:
The problem is that the dialer-list 1 points to both logical dialers (with dialer-group 1) which is confusing and not allowed. To solve this problem I can only think of removing either dialer1 or dialer2 from both routers.
 
No, removing one dialer interface is not an option. Try and frame a solution that works with both dialer interfaces configured on both routers.
 
The problem is the router doesn't know which dialer profile to match for dialin. You can just setup using caller id or authentication to match it.
