Possible ? yes...but not a very good idea I think because sometimes the
interface is up whereas the connection is broken. So it would be better to
ping one (or two...) ip adress which is always up.

Have a look to this piece of code, maybe it can help you:
____________________________________________________________________
#!/bin/sh
ping_host="217.12.6.16" # one ip of yahoo.fr
log_file="/var/log/reconnect.log"
while ((1))
do
# testing the connection ....
ping -c10 $ping_host > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then # not connected ...
# logs
date >> $log_file
# cleaning
/bin/killall pppd 2&>/dev/null
/bin/rm -f /var/run/ppp*.pid 2&>/dev/null
/etc/rc.d/nice.sh 2&>/dev/null # firewall down
sleep 3
# reconnection
pppd call adsl # dialing
sleep 30
/etc/rc.d/fw.sh 2&>/dev/null # firewall up
fi
# the test is done every 30 seconds
sleep 30
done
# faudrait pas en arriver la ...
exit 1

This script is made to run in background permanently. So you can add it to
your rc.local.
You can add your ip-updating stuff to it.
For ip-update with dyndns I use "ez-ipupdate" which runs tests and update
the ip adress automatically.
