I agree with Martin. It is quite easy to have the scripts stop
executing for certain interfaces.

For example my /etc/ppp/ip.d/exim-queuerunner:
|#!/bin/bash
|
|[ "$PPP_IFACE" = "ippp0" ] || exit 0
|
|case "$PPP_OPERATION" in
|  up)
|  	/etc/init.d/exim queue-start
|	;;
|  down)
|  	/etc/init.d/exim queue-stop
|	;;
|esac

This clearly only executes if the interface going up or down is ippp0.

Marc
