The problem is not the cost itself it's the fact that I have multiple
routers in the same VLAN, behind one SVI.  The SVI can only be one set
cost, however the switch links and routers in that subnet can be of
various speed, FE or GE.  While all the routers are multi-homed, I want
them to use the links which are faster.  Easy to control on the routers
themselves by setting the costs, but traffic the other way it not so easy.
