Site link redundant

[IceBall]

You are configuring Active directory sites...
If you have only two sites and you have a T1 connection and dial-up connection between the sites then you can create 2 sitelinks. One for the T1 and one for the dial-up. You set lower link cost on the T1 sitelink.

Is this possible or have I understand this wrong? If I can do this how do I configure the sitelink (lower cost) to use the T1?

Well, not really as you are saying.
Between two sites you are defining a SiteLink. A site link it can say just scheduling, type, cost.
So, you don't have any link with your real interface.
It will just try to have a connection whatever that is.

Then why cost? Cost is used when you are having more ways to reach a site, when there are circular references, ansd situations of this kind (see the site links bridge term too) It is a graph, where you can have more ways (i don't know very wel this maths terms in English) between nodes, and then you define weight to those ways.

When you have two SiteLinks between two sites, then let's say one is IP and the other is SMTP.
