As Max stated, you can set triggers based on thresholds that are monitered
via multiple methods in Cisco IOS. That way you could force the route down
dynamically. There's always a risk when letting the machines do the thinking
but this would help in situations like this. Can't speak for other vendors
but I'm sure the features are similar.
