Greetings.
Have a look in the man page for pppd and search for ip-up (and up-down). This
scripts/programs if present are supposed to be executed when the ppp IP link becomes
available or otherwise. A number of parameters are passed by pppd to these scripts,
including the local and remote IP addresses.

Subject: [masq] dynamic IP address
I am using masq on a dial on demand PPP connection which uses a dynamic IP address.
When the link first comes up, I always lose the first packet, which appears to be
addressed to the old peer/from my old IP address.. This then causes my users to get
failure messages, which go away when retried. In particular, the first DNS request
from a WinXX system nearly always fails. More of an annoyance than a problem, but has
anyone got any ideas ?
