Not being up-to-date with the new network scripts, I would suggest
you up your eth0 before poffing your ppp.
Perhaps your poff scripts would reestablish the routes automatically
but for the fact that eth0 is still down.
The other (old-fashioned slink) way is to make poff run
/etc/init.d/network which should redo everything in the right order.
