Hello Andrew Beverley,
Thank you for reply.
I tried this in CentOS:

vi /sbin/ifup-local

echo  if  is  now  up  >/tmp/log.txt

I tried this in CentOS:

But it doesn't work with vpnc and tun0 interface.
I used netplugd to monitor up/down events and generate appropriate rules in iptables.

Hello,
I have a question about possibility of making a redirect if  NAT out
interface tun0 is down.
This is iptables rule for Masquerading our network via VPN connection.

iptables  --table  nat  --append  POSTROUTING  --out-interface  tun0  -j  MASQUERADE  -m  comment  --comment  "Masquerading"

When VPN goes down, we can't access some resources and we need to verify
its status and establish it again.
Is it possible to make a redirect of all traffic to another host - Web
Site(via IP address) of tun0 is down ?
If the interface actually does "down", then I would use your operating
system's networking scripts to run a "down" script. E.g. for Debian
use /etc/network/interfaces

If it just stops responding, then I'd consider LSM[1] to monitor it and
do something similar.
