When you start dialup it probably changes your routing to force dialup
to be primary.  I'm not sure of the commands, but you might be able to
initiate dialup in such a way that it does not change routing.  Then you
could execute a script to route just the subnets required over the
dialup link and leave everything else going out the ethernet.
