Hey there Geert,

I'd go with object tacking on this:-

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123cgcr/ipras_r/ip1_s2g.htm#wp1084290

Started in 12.2(15)T.

The object can be one of loads of things, from a route, to a specific
metric. Written globally, then tracked under the interface.
