This is because you've requested it:

>From the ppp manpage:
     o As an exception, 0 is equivalent to 0.0.0.0/0, meaning that I have
       no preferred IP address and will obey the remote peers selection. 
       using zero, no routing table entries will be made until a
       connection is established. 

I've seen `set ifaddr 0 0' lines cause problems like this.  Refine your
ifaddr line.
