I find ftp performance is not very good via my gateway using IPMasq... ie it
runs about 60% of the speed that the IPMasq host itself can pull.

Also, Larry, getting back to your original question, I used to run with a
dynamic IP address on my inet dialup. I used pppd to set the route as
default when it made the connection. For my slackware setup, this could be
done via the pppd command line or in the /etc/ppp/options file.  Good luck!
