Try adding a directive like this to your gated.conf, it'll keep the
interface from being marked as down even after it comes down...
static {
111.22.333.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 216.42.123.30 retain ;
} ;
As far as dial-on-demand connections go I've had some luck with
installing a route before started gated that gated doesn't overwrite...
I think it does generally overwrite everything though.
Hope this makes some sense... :)

Yes, gated is just all around better once you get over the learning
curve.
