If you aren't dialing demon, then you have a problem. Demand dialing using
just pppd will only work with a static IP address. It won't reconfigure the
interface when you reconnect. You will have to use diald, which is more
flexible and can cope with this sort of thing.

I don't think there is any special order of options. I guess the Apache
manual is the best place to look. I tend to put everything into httpd.conf.
All the static stuff at the top, and all the multi site stuff at the end.
It's easy to scroll to the end of the file to add new bits.
