Shorewall users - Aug 2003 - a solution to pppd random interface name ?

Hi,

I have multiple ppp interfaces that does not correspond to the same 
network usage. Do you know anything about trying to set definitively the 
ppp+ name ? or anything to adapt automagically iptables to the real 
network which is behind each ppp+ interface ?

I''ve tooken a look into the IFNAME env var... but it doesn''t
seems to
work :c/

regards,

The Shorewall way is:

/etc/shorewall/zones:

vpn1
vpn2
...

/etc/shorewall/interfaces

ppp+	-

/etc/shorewall/hosts

vpn1	ppp+:<network1>
vpn2	ppp+:<network2>
...

That of course should have been:
