how to run script after adsl-start

Hi NG!
I'd like to run a firewall script after the adsl-start script from the
rp-pppoe package. adsl-start monitors the dsl connection, and
reconnects if the connection was lost, thus changing my ip. I would
then need to run the firewall script again. How can I do it?
Thanks

/etc/ppp/ip-up.local

Put whatever you want in that file & it'll happen.

Actually, I had tried this one out already but it didn't work. in
fact, I have the feeling it didn't even call ip-up .
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? The firewall option in
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf is set to none.

Thanks

The script I want to launch runs iptables and configures it to use the
running ip AND the ppp0 device. In fact, it is based on a script that
i fished in the ip-masquerade-howto, named firewall-2.4-stronger. It
is very well done and works like a charm!
Here's a link, I don't know if it is the main site but anyway:

Thaks a lot for your help! The ip-up script is run each time, as you
thought, but the reason it didn't work was a really dumb fault of
mine: i forgot to set execute permissions on ip-up.local
Sorry for the inconvenience
