There is a recent post on this board describing this exact problem with "ARP 
for every new/unknown destination"
https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/juniper-nsp/2012-November/024826.html

However, the original issue - 0/0 pointing to DHCP default-router - is 
scriptable easily enough in SLAX.
Should you go this route, make sure your provider has ARP policer in place 
to withstand a routing loop in your network :-)
