They way I do it here is to look to see if the incoming connection is
xfer only, and if so do a load check.  I also use the domain-matching
nntp_access file, so local domains are exempt (since they aren't xfer
only).  This allows local users to read/post, but our feeds are
stifled if we're too busy.
