Last time I needed one similar device, we ended up having Vishay custom
make it out of their bulk metal film precision resistors.  Ended up with a
binary divider with 7 taps as I recall--$100 or so each for two, and twelve
week lead time. BUT they were .001% with almost 0 TC in a 14 pin DIP
package.  No Free Lunch, I guess.

When you find your part, do tell us--I may need the same thing shortly.
