I am not sure if I have the situation right:
You want both links to dial at the same time, perhaps to reduce the downtime -- but if Serial1 is able to make a connection, then you want it to be used in preference to Serial0 ?
If so, then I think you just -might- be able to do it with a combination of "dialer watch" and having routes with different distances imported in from the remote end, and having the Serial0 interface not be shut down suddenly but rather allowed to expire due to lack of traffic. But this is getting into obtruse configurations.
I suggest you examine the white papers at Vincent C. Jones' site,

and consider buying his book, "High Availability Networking with Cisco". And you need some equipment to practice with -- he makes the configurations look simple, but it's about like studying for an exam in physics: simple looking solutions that you have to study and study and study to really understand -how- they work.
