I am interested in the possibility of using terrestrial low-bandwidth
links for interactive traffic and satellite links for file transfers
and other applications that don't have real-time expectations (including
large 24 colour bit map images which would clog the interactive pipe).

So I would like to be able to set the cisco up to route packets for 
the same destination networks to one of two different interfaces 
depending on TOS field and also on the size of the packet. The latter
is more relevant at the moment since few applications (if any) set
the TOS field.

Can you do this with a Cisco? I can't see how from the manual. Does
Cisco plan to have this capability? Should I be looking at some other
product? I remember reading that it has been done.
