Why don't you let your scripts be called from ipup/ipdown?

Issue with that is that is that they would be run on enabling any
network connection (local net or ppp).

But then you could probe inside the scripts for which kind of connection
you have and act accordingly. For probing maybe the best thing would be
to test for the current gateways ip?
