This might be a stupid question...

[Ted Fines]

The OUTPUT chain only deals with packets originating from the firewall 
itself.  Your rule is fine, but you want to add it to the FORWARD chain 
instead, which deals with packets going to/from your network to/from the 
Internet:
iptables -A FORWARD -o ppp0 -d 63.211.210.20 -j DROP

Good luck,
