The last thing pppd does when the connection comes up is call
/etc/ppp/ip-up with the connection parameters as arguments. It should look
something like this, assuming you're only running one ppp connection:
/sbin/route add default gw $5
You might want to execute your firewall script after that too.
That's how I have my SuSE machine set up, using Roaring Penguin PPPoE.
Redhat might work differently, but I'll bet it's the same.
