A new renormalization procedure for the solutions of Einstein's field equations in d dimensions obtainable by the inverse scattering method (ISM) of Belinskii and Zakharov (Sov. Phys. JETP 48, 985 (1978)) is presented. It allows one to obtain families of diagonal metrics which, in addition to the solitonic parameters that characterize the ISM, depend on 2(d-3) extra arbitrary parameters. An example of cosmological relevance where the source is a massless scalar field in five dimensions is presented. It represents a general family of two-parameter four-dimensional metrics that for great times go into the perfect fluid Friedman--Robertson-Walker regime.
