Hi Mattias,
It is still possible to bend it to your will ; )
I may be misunderstanding your topology, but essentially you have a Primary link via a WAN circuit that receives a BGP-sourced default, and a backup ADSL connection that receives a default via DHCP/PPP, and has an IPSEC tunnel back to your head office. Are you trying to move the default route to your IPSEC tunnel interface, or the underlying "cheap line"?
You could try the following:
Set up a static default with a high metric (so that it will lose to both DHCP and BGP) via your IPSEC tunnel/underlying link. If the underlying link is not point-to-point (eg: you will need to know the far-side IP), you can point it down your IPSEC tunnel, or anywhere else - it should never actually get used):
set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop at-1/0/0.0
set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 preference 190
Then in your ip-monitoring policy, you can override this dummy route with a better metric than both BGP and DHCP:
set services ip-monitoring policy Local-Internet-Test match rpm-probe Internet
set services ip-monitoring policy Local-Internet-Test then preferred-route route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop at-1/0/0.0
set services ip-monitoring policy Local-Internet-Test then preferred-route route 0.0.0.0/0 preferred-metric 1
Now when your test fails (even if BGP does not):
inet.0: 49 destinations, 51 routes (49 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both
0.0.0.0/0 *[Static/1] 00:13:15, metric2 0
> via at-1/0/0.0
[Access-Internal/12] 00:21:45
> to 192.168.1.2 via at-1/0/0.0
[BGP/170] 2d 21:51:10, localpref 100
AS path: 65500 I, validation-state: unverified
> to 172.30.3.2 via ge-0/0/3.0
Cheers,
Ben

Even is the default routes are both from dynamic protocols (BGP and DHCP).
For a regular static this is perfect.
No such luck in this sollution.

Rather than making configuration changes, if you're running recent code (12.1) on branch SRX, have a look at the preferred-route option in ip-monitoring.
You can override your default route dynamically based on the RPM failing, without having to override config.
The day this is feature (and ip-monitoring in general) is merged back down to mainline Junos will be a glorious one...
Cheers,
Ben
