OK, good luck with it... For only 5 or 10 sites, I'd set the default gateway
to the internet out the T1, and then put a static route for each known IP
pointing to the Metro-E router address ... But if the Sonic Wall will do it
for you, go for it.

I'm thinking something like 5-10 sites on the Metro-E for now.  In looking
at the SonicWall policy based routing (thanks Phil!) in combination with
their dynamic address objects and groups, I think I can accomplish what I'm
looking for with minimal upkeep in the future.  In theory, I would just add
a dynamic address object for the site I want and then add it to an address
group which is what I use for the policy based route.  I haven't tested it
yet but I think that would do the trick.  Everything not assigned via the
policy would go out over the T1.

And using a dynamic address object should make it work even if site's IP
changes.

Of course this is all in theory so we'll see what happens when I try it out.
