i have an ipad that when i am not at home in range of my home wireless network i tether my ipad to the iphone to share its 3g connection. i have to set this manually. each time. i use the bluetooth connection between the two.

i am wondering if there is some way to set it that when i leave my house wireless network, that the ipad will automatically switch to my iphone's 3g, and vice versa, when i return home, it will disconnect from the iphone tether and switch back to my home wifi network.. it seems when i return home, my iphone switches back to the network, but my ipad will remain tethered via the iphone.

i would like this to happen because i figure its slower to route the home internet through the iphone to ipad as well as the power consumption of having bluetooth enabled on both devices, esp the iphone that has to route the data through itself to the ipad.
