You can't depend on Services to determine the lag factor for the entire
network.  Doing this would be a mistake.  You are coming up with ideas
that, in my opinion, fall way outside the scope of IRCServices.  If you
want a minimal routing system, then look into ircd's rule-based connects 
(SmartRouting).  With this, you can force a specific network structure in
specific situations, though it is rather limited.  It would be faily easy
to extend it though.
