I would like to see a null interface that you could give an address, and
then add low-priority/high-cost routes. Kinda like:
set null0 address 10.1.1.1
add route 198.53.215.0/24 10.1.1.1 15
It should be easy to add a null interface, just like an ether0, or w1
that doesn't do anything. This solution is also generic, and can be used
to build lots of useful setups.

Well, Livingston is working a specialized version of this for
dynamic address pools. Unfortunately, it will not have the flexibility of
the null interface idea.
