Cisco Router for BGP and DS3, Admin Distance

I heard this could be done with a setting called "admin distance". Is that
correct? I figure it might be somewhat common to have a need to balance
unequal BGP routes?

Admin distance will only impact egress routing, and will not impact
ingress. The original proposed solution above is probably the way to
go to ensure that traffic from the internet uses one path over the
other (the bigger pipe), and you can use route maps to influence which
path to take out. You would create a route map for each bgp neighbor,
and the one with the larger pipe would have a higher local
preference.

Here is what you pretty much want to do if I understand your
requirements correctly, great link:
