and change AUTOCFGFILES = "no" in /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 otherwise
/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 will override it.

Maybe there could be an init.d structure in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and get ip-up
 to call them? There as Wolfram mentioned are a few items that could go here.
 /etc/rc.firewall (for guarddog) iptables call maybe, fetchmail, sendmail,
 dyndns, "/usr/bin/wwwoffle -online and /usr/bin/wwwoffle -fetch" if using
 wwwoffled, /usr/sbin/gentoo-stats --update, /usr/sbin/pdnsd-ctl server 0 up
 (if using pdnsd - ref bug #20450), some icq online activiation, etc...

Those are most of the ones I've got in ip-up. The order realy has to be user
defined, or maybe some indication in priority? Ok I haven't thought that much
in detail.

Maybe this is too ppp specific. Does ISDN use /etc/ppp/ip-up? A per interface
is a more generic solution? too generic maybe. Ok I'm babling now - I'll stop
;-)

The "triggered by" solution may have applicablility elsewhere but say for
instance you use dial-on-demand in /etc/init.d/net.ppp0?
