Why do you need to add a route on the server?  pppd will add a host route
automatically.  The only reason for doing this is if there is a remote
network hanging off the client side and you need to route an entire subnet
down the ppp link.  If that's the case, you can either write a script that
runs when this person logs in (I think you can do this) or encourage them
to run a NAT gateway so that they only occupy one real IP.
