I'm a little confused about how to set up the network.conf to work with
diald and ppp. Diald sets up a proxy interface called 'sl0' to monitor for
network traffic. This is the default route until diald starts up ppp. Then
the default route switches to 'ppp0'.
My question is how does someone set up the rules to apply to both sl0 and
ppp0, especially when ppp0 won't exist at the time the rules are setup? Do
I need to use ip-up and ip-down scripts to change the firewall rules
depending upon the state of sl0 and ppp0? Does anyone know how I might use
network.conf with ip-up and ip-down?
Thanks for the help!

No, sorry, that is indeed the sort of thing diald is designed to do,
although I suppose you could design cron jobs to do the same thing.

That was my experience, that dial-on-demand versions of ppp didn't play
well with diald. When you are done, could you post a short writeup on
what you did to get everything working? This seems to be a FAQ.
