I think you guys are trying to make the issue more complex than it really
is.

The basic problem, as I see it, is you need two default routes to the
outside
world, but only want to use one at a time. In this case you set the first
route
as the primary route being the ADSL and set the PPP default route when you
bring up PPP. If you use 'ip-up' 'ip-down' scripts to do this you can also
set to
DNS resolution to follow the default route.
