Certainly I am sympathetic to the idea of a trust flag. This would initially affect whether locally originated requests are routed to a node (configurably), but we might use something similar for request preference. However, it may not be necessary, if we favour nodes which send few requests... Anyway, backoff is definitely one of the things which is up for negotiation in our attempts on -devl to redesign the load balancing system.
