I am not sure what might be causing the problem I doubt
it will be with NAT unless it is a bug.

- however

I think that you will need a more sophisticated solution.

=46rom memory a dialer is *always* UP. Unless admin down of course.

So your solution will not work.
I may be wrong, unplug dsl and see if dialer is up to check

sh ip int brie


Look at Policy based routing with Object Tracking.

This has got the tools for the job.
