This is interesting. We have a fully resource-aware server and scheduler.
Server part is in bugzilla here:
http://www.clusterresources.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67

But we also have a separate external daemon for dynamic resources like
licences. You store licenses dirrectly on server? How do you handle the delay?
