Re: Bring VPN up on connect?

I think so but not by itself.

Take a look at whereami and build a script around with nm-dispatcher.

I used to do this to determine what NFS mounts to use but now that I 
travel a lot less I stopped using it and I never used it with 
NM-Dispatcher but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work.
