Is the Masquerading box also handling DNS for you?
More than likely tcpd is attempting to resolve the internal IP address
you're connecting from, which is triggering the dial-on-demand. If you're
using private (RFC1918) address space, you can setup a bogus reverse zone
to fend off the external lookup.

IIRC, diald executes a particular shell script each time a dialup connection
is established; on Debian systems I believe this is /etc/diald/ip-up. You
could place something similar to the following in it:
ifconfig ppp0 | mail -s "Connection at `date`" kt25@drexel.edu
> Kurt
> kt25@drexel.edu
-mct
