[ale] eth0 and ppp0 defaultroute question.

[Jerry Z. Yu]

	defaultroute (nodefaultroute) in /etc/ppp/OPTIONS

	To seperate work-related traffic from your other traffic, add 
special static routes to work-related subnets in  /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, or 
delete souch routes in ip-down.local.  (as ppp0  goes away, the route 
should go away automatically).  Strict firewall rules should 
be in place to police the ppp0 interface. 

	your company policy may require u to use ppp0 as default route, to 
subject all traffic to corporate firewall/security 
rules/monitoring thru-out the dial-up duration.
