Could you post the output of "route -n" from a clean network? (That
is to say, as the network scripts configure it at boot)
It actually sounds like you already have a default route somewhere,
pppd will not add a default route (even if supplied the defaultroute
keyword) if there is already one present, *and* even if it did, the
original default would be first in the table and still used.
Oh yeah, the metric thing, by default the metric for all the routes
will be the same unless you specificly feed a metric to the system.
You can do this from the command line tools, but *normally* this is
done by routing daemons (gated, zebra, etc).
Route selection is done most specific route *first*, then by metric.
Only if you had 2 routes via different gateways to the exact same
addr/mask would selection by metric be done.
