Yes. Mike Jagdis recently added an ifsetup option which allows you to
execute arbitrary commands for setting up routes, etc. (Thanks Mike!)
You'll find this option in diald-0.99. It's available from
http://diald.unix.ch/download/
I'm using it to set up routes to an ISDN router. Once the routes are
established and the router sees some activity, the router will take
care of dialing out. When diald's ruleset detects that the link
should be brought down, the routes are removed and the lack of
activity will eventually cause the router to disconnect.
The router is smart enough to do some of this itself, but diald gives
me finer control over exactly what'll leave the link up or not. In
addition it gives me superb monitoring cababilities via dctrl.
