I'm afraid this is no routing problem. Your vserver is using a private
IP address. Private IP addresses don't get routet on the Internet at all.
To enable access for the vserver to the Internet via ppp0 you have to
either use NAT with iptables, or install a http proxy server on
the host system.

I'm using the NAT approach with the shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net)
firewall scripts for this purpose with the dummy0 device being the dmz
device.
# apt-get install shorewall

The setup of shorewall + ppp could become tricky, so I'd suggest to
run dns and http proxy servers on your host or use a simple X11 firewall
tool like firestarter (http://firestarter.sf.net), which should be
good enough for playing around.
# apt-get install firestarter

You have to activate NAT in the "Internet connection sharing" display of
the "Firewall Wizard".

Hope this helps.
