Brian,You're being deliberately dense. There is no reason to 'reload your firewall to deal with the changes'. You only have to understand the nature of the changes that your applications might apply to your main table and supply routing rules *in advance* that anticipate those changes.
I have been down this road many times; I've been thinking about the problem a lot longer than you have and I don't believe that there is a simple answer. I'm still willing to be convinced; but the 'provider tables contain only default routes' approach is a dead end as far as I'm able to see.
