Least cost routing... HylaFAX server can do least cost routing between the 
modems in one server using DestControls, but it can't do it between 
multiple servers.  (I.e., "Host" is not an option in DestControls.)  Once 
HylaFAX server has received a job it will perform it itself unless 
DestControls has a RejectNotice for that destination.

DialRules won't help you here.

If you want to do this you'll have to do it client-side, before the fax is 
delivered to HylaFAX.  This is easy enough if you use sendfax.  You'd 
simply write a sendfax wrapper that sets the sendfax -h option based on 
your routing rules.
