Let's say that your internal interface is eth0, your WAN is eth1, and your modem is ppp0
You can set up your iptables rules so that instead of referring to "-i eth1" or "-i ppp0"
they refer to "-i ! eth0"
As far as changing your routes, that is not up to iptables, that is up to the way that you
programatically determine if the WAN interface is up.
