[LARTC] Two outbound links, switching after threshold is reached.

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

I've just started to recently look at CBQ and HTB, but I've been
wondering whether or not something like the following is possible:

I've got two external links:

        +--+
        |  |-----ISP1
        |FW|
        |  |-----ISP2
        +--+

One link has a bandwidth cap, and the other doesn't.

What I want to do is, punt all outbound traffic out via ISP1 (free),
but if it's outbound capacity becomes full, start directing subsequent
connections out via ISP2.

This way ISP2 is only used when ISP1 is busy.

I have no idea whether this is possible using 2.4 and advanced routing
features.  Or, whether it's just a stupid idea.

Anyone?
