I have struggled with this for a while in various versions of ange-ftp.
It's much easier to write a shell script that decides which ftp to run and 
call that ftp. 

here it is. Our external ftp is called pftp.

real=`where ftp | tail -1`
proxy=`where pftp`
host=

for i
do
	case $i in
	-*)  opts="$opts $i"; shift;;
	[a-z]*)  host="$i"; shift;;
	esac
done

if [ "$host" = "" ]
then
	if [ -f /bin/sun ] && sun
	then
		/usr/5bin/echo "ftp>\\c"
	else
		echo "ftp>\\c"
	fi
	read host
	set $host
	host=$2
fi

case $host in
	*.ncr.com) exec $real $opts $host;;
	*.att.com) exec $real $opts $host;;
	*.*) exec $proxy $opts $host;;
	*) exec $real $opts $host;;
esac
