I have a funny situation on a table and will appreciate any suggestions:

I have a very simple link table in my DB, 3 columns: 1st primary key clustered index bigint, 2nd and 3rd are foreign keys (bigint).
The table is read 99.99% of the time with very few inserts so I use a fill factor of 100%.
It is used in a lot of join statements.
Only 2 indexes on the table.
Problem is the fragmentation gets very high, very quickly.
I have set the fill factor from 100% to 50% but the indexes still get fragmented in less than 24 hours on the SQL 2008 DB.
There is a sql agent script defragmenting/reindexing the indexes every 24 hours too.
There is also no disk fragmentation. Similar tables on my DB have 0% fragmentation.
