[Users] ipsec over temporary ppp connection

Hi,

I wanted to setup an ipsec tunnel over a (temporary) ppp connection.
The problem is, that when i start ipsect (ipsec setup start) the ppp
connection is down therefore there is no ppp0 device and ipsec won't start.

Since I also have persistent ipsec tunnels over ethernet interfaces, I must
start ipsec at boot time. While the ppp connection should just be a direct backup
if the (internet) link over eth0 dies.

That's the error I get:
ipsec_setup: unable to determine address of `ppp0'

the interfaces line in /etc/ipsec.conf is
interfaces="ipsec0=eth0 ipsec1=eth1"

Is it somehow possible to start ipsec with a device, that will appear later
in the system or do I need to start the ppp connection before I start ipsec, then
shutdown the ppp link and bring it up when it is requiered.

Thanks,

Gregor
