Are you using anything to monitor the running of the ip-up/ip-down  
scripts?

Have you considered modifying the ip-up/ip-down scripts?

So they generate some output that can be captured in a log file 
(ie - date and time that the scripts run) - that way you can check the 
log file to see how often and when the scripts are being run.
