For Fedora, I don't yet know.  For Debian and Ubuntu, the usual method
is a tiny script added to /etc/ppp/ip-up.d that adds the iptables rule
as soon as the connection is made.  Another script in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d
can remove it, if the connection is only occasional.  pppd can call a
script or set of scripts on connection.
