The only way to do tos rewriting reliably in these cases is to add it as
a special per route attribute (like window or pmtu). This could be done
for other user settable IP options too. For example source routing would
be _much_ more useful if I could do
route add -host specialhost from network via hop1 via hop2 via hop3 lose
instead of having to patch the applications.
