/etc/ppp/ip-up is the logical place to put these things since it gets
called when pppd is run. It says right in it, though, to use
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local instead. ip-up calls ip-up.local on mine.
Either way, that's where you wanna look.
I don't know of a definitive book, though I would imagine there is one. I
just mostly learned it from howtos, searches and places like this list.
