Dear Erik, Pierre

we're also looking _hardly_ for a solution, to prepare hosts for 
maintenance.

But this time is quite short, correct?

In the webinterface there are so called 'penalty points' for each host - 
increasing them probably lead to 'no new sessions' - but we found no way 
to alter these penalty points! Is there a way?

Thanks

Carsten
