remove all the cisco equipment and replace with Linux..  8-)

Linux+iproute2+tc will easily do what you ask, and the cisco will not. 
The answer is that simple.
I wish there was a nice GUI config for this, but there is not, and it is
very complicated for me to make.

I see your earlier question about "how to make this in Linux", and I
would suggest you replace your VLAN config with a new Linux IPRoute2+tc
config.  There will be a lot of reading for you to do, however.  8-/
Google for "policy routing" and read about policy routing theory.

I think cisco should be very concerned about the day that Linux
IPRoute2+tc has a GUI...  Perhaps, after that day cisco will suddenly
design routers that will run Linux.  8-))
