it's slightly more complicated, as you have to have *some* default route otherwise the packets don't get as far as PF, so the route-to rules can't be used. it could be a dummy address, but it has to point to an address on some directly-connected network. I'm not sure if it has to respond to arp, it's possible, but it wouldn't have to actually do any routing if you have everything covered by route-to rules. you might have to experiment a bit there. in the setup where I'm using this, default points to a separate adsl router on vr0, and there are a couple of pppoe(4)'s on the box itself, with route-to to balance between the vr0 and all pppoe's.
