Could probably do this easier with PFsense and setup all of the VPN clients on the firewall and write a script to stop and start each vpn service. I use PFsense for torrents to allow load balancing and to increase throughput. I have three openvpn clients setup into a gateway group and tunnel the traffic out.
pfSense can just keep all the VPN sessions up. You make gateway groups that can be triggered by timers. "At 12:37 these clients should use this gw group which favors this VPN "
Supporting appliance based tunnels would probably be a clear path for this project. Challenges may involve key handling and gateway/provider management. If there were a dependable, native API this could make it all the easier.
My little project so far has been biased towards (a surplus of) redundant commodity hardware. The environment where this evolved includes a very early MIPS32 based router so tunneling/proxying/resolving were not an option there.
I'm most definitely inspired here to see about supporting this kind of configuration! pfsense/opnsense have been on my list for years.
