Is there a way to have the ppp interface (ppp0 or ppp1) always assigned to the same ip address (ISP, ethernet interface, or whatever). I have 2 ISP connections and that's all working fine but it involves a mess of scripts to keep the firewall and routing rules working right. Sometimes ISP#1 comes up as ppp0 and ISP2 as ppp1 but it can also be the other way around. It would be a lot simpler to always have ISP1 come up as ppp0 for example. Any ideas? Can't find anything in man pppd or man pppoe. Did a google too but no joy.
