The latest pppd version, I believe it's 2.3.5, has this feature
built-in. If you feed it the "demand" option, it will keep the ppp0
interface configured up, and initiate (and later drop, if you like)
connections if any packet tries to route through that interface.
I use this type of setup on my home lan, and it works very well.
Others might recommend diald, but I find it too cumbersome to setup and
understand. The pppd method is simple and direct, and works just fine. :)
