An aside here; I've heard that dial-on-demand is alleged to have had
problems in Linux, but I've never had any trouble with it.

If it's an idle timeout, sometimes a cron-induced ping might be enough
to keep you alive.

It would help to see your ipchains scripts, and perhaps the
ip-up.local.
Be aware, though, that it may not be necessary to go to all that
trouble. I leave my firewall and masquarading rules in place
permanently, and let pppd handle route changes dynamically with the
defaultroute option. Is your setup too complex for that to work for
you (e.g., you don't want all clients to have access to ppp0)?
