Well, to test the theory, I modified one of my port forwards and ran the "svi network ipfileter reload" and it indeed reloaded the filters correctly as viewed from the web applet. Thanks Eric/Ewald. (Backup /etc for this).
So, I put the "svi network ipfilter reload" into the /etc/ppp/ip-up file at the end and just before the call to run parts from the ip-up.d directory. (Backup ppp for this one). Killing the pppd appears to restart a new version and re-run the filters. Also, a reboot appears to be no worse for the wear with this change. I will keep you informed the first time the ISP drops the connection such that it renegotiates the address without my intervention. dbc.
