The ip-up.local script does not get executed by pppd, /etc/ppp/ip-up gets
executed by pppd. The ip-up.local is a RH thang, I'd expect there to be
a line in /etc/ppp/ip-up to execute it, although given RH's propensity for
indirection that guess should be taken with a good-sized salt-lick.
The message isn't related in any case. Pppd has found the proxyarp option
somewhere in it's configuration but hasn't found a NIC in the host that it
can use to proxy arp for a LAN.

I *think* not, each pppd instance should execute /etc/ppp/ip-up. The
script above should do the right thing for the connection to the host
172.25.8.150, aka xcpccta. The bothersome thing is that it suggests that
the host is on two LANs, cta-net and cac-net, so it's not clear why pppd
complains about not finding an Ethernet address.
