How did you manage your pppd's before you switched to diald? Did you just kill
them and restart them from a shell script? That can give rise to the same race
condition.
One easy way to get pppd to restart itself is simply to write an endless
loop in the bash shell:
while true ; do
pppd < options > -detach
done
By using -detach, the shell will wait for pppd to terminate before launching it
again, ensuring that the device is released.

Have you tried using the interface IP addresses in your firewall rules, rather
than the interface names (-V rather an -W)?
