I presume that inittab is not better insurance though then a looping script?? If the link goes down it must reconnect. Historically I have been doing this in inittab and it works well. The difference though is that I now have only one static IP address and before PPP comes up the system does not know that address. Before I had an ethernet card that had that IP address and a netmask of 8 addresses, so bind knew the system IP before PPP started.
