I'd try simplifing first. I have just have:


default:
  set log Phase tun command
adsl:
  set device PPPoE:vr0
  set authname ...
  set authkey ...
  add default HISADDR

and in rc.conf:

ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_profile="adsl"

PPP connects at start-up and, for me, reconnects without any problems
when the connection is interrupted from either end.
