Subject: PPP - link-up/link-down asymmetry

	/usr/sbin/ppp searchs 'ppp.linkup' file for labels
starting from 'my-ip-address', then looks at 'dstsystem'
	       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and finally at 'MYADDR'.

	On link-down the file 'ppp.linkdown' is searched
starting from 'peer-ip-address', then 'dstsystem' and
	       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
finally to 'MYADDR' labels.


	Is there any sense in such an asymmetry ?

Would'nt it be better to look at both 'my-' and 'peer-ip-address'
on both link-up and link-down events ?
(But I can'nt put this two adresses in one particular order ;-)
