YES!!! YES!! YES!!  That would just be wonderful.  Then I can set
ssh, eklogin, etc in interactive;  dns and www in intermediate and
let the rest fall into the slow pipe.

Glad you mentioned this.... I have a need to redo the way that autoload
works as it has a major flaw as far as I can tell in that you can only
bring up/down links based on your outbound traffic pattern.  Well, that
works okay for some folks, but it won't let me replace the ascend equipment
until it can do it for both inbound and outbound traffic.

I need to coordinate this effort with you, perhaps we should take this
to private email...
