Wow !!!  :)

// So, it's worth noting that on my current-running demand-dialed ppp
// connection, the routing table says that he default route is via the
// _local_ address of the PPP connection...

Doesn't this mean that the local address cannot anymore be a generic
one ?  Borrowed from another interface, for example...

If not, how does the system know from which interface to send the packet ?
