The default route to a PPP interface is both set and removed by pppd. I
don't understand why demand would work only once. More details?

Not possible so far as I know. Why do you need it after the link is down?

You don't need a routing daemon for either a leafnode box or a leafnode
LAN. If you don't have a LAN then you don't need the proxyarp option.
