You might look into the ipup (or ip-up) script. It is passed a lot of
parameters when inet gets fired up on a ppp interface, such as which ppp
interface this is, and the IP address. If your filtering can be turned on
and off in the ip-up and ip-down scripts, you should be fine. Just have it
decide if it's dealing w/ the rest-of-net interface, and do the rules iff
you're on that interface.

Take care,
