Has anyone done this? It would involve a bit of code restructuring. 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. ...tad
