I'm looking at trying to get ppp/pppd/slip to do this automatically,
but for now, just add a static route in your ppp.conf:
add 206.103.15.27 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1
If you want this only to be available while your connection is up,
you'll need the latest ppp (available from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian).
You can put the above in your ppp.linkup and remove it in ppp.linkdown:
delete 206.103.15.27
