        The following  one liner can get the IP address
        of your ppp0 interface. 

        ifconfig -a | gawk \
         '/^ppp0 / { getline ; split ( $2, a, ":"); print a[2]  }'

        But, I see that's not what you're asking for.

        I think you could use the /etc/ppp/i-pup script that's 
        called by pppd whenever it as established a connection.
        The local IP address is the fourth command line argument 
        to that.

        There might be a race condition between the route
        establishment and the enforcement of these rules.

        Why specify any source address here?

        Why specify the destination address here.
