The supplied ppp package can do this, read the docs and you will discover.
However should you is another question. Tying up a one of your ISPs lines just
because you can is noy a nice thing to do. Use it when you need it.

When you install and config ipmasq one of the things it ask is should ipmasq be
run when the ppp connection goes up -- tell it yes and config the /etc/ipmasq
stuff and you are all set, no muss no fuss.
As to the modules, place a scrip in /etc/init.d and then read the man page for
update-rc.d. Should cover ya.
2.2 does all the routes you need. Do not bother setting them.
