I don't think there's anything like that built into * as it is now, but it 
would be pretty trivial to write a script to handle such a thing. Effective 
monitoring of the traffic  conditions may require a bit more work .. 
monitoring latencies, and maybe monitoring current utilizations via snmp on 
your core routers/switches/etc. A quick probe to the management interface 
would also give you some insight on current call volume, of course.
