[torqueusers] resources_default on routing queues?

[Ramon Bastiaans]

Yes that would be what I really want, but the problem here is 3rd party 
software. Our cluster is connected to the EGEE grid, where users submit 
to specific queues (with certain default lengths).

Walltime specification is not mandatory in their middleware and 
currently they do not seem very eager to change that.

Now specifying extra routing queues with some sets of default resources 
would still allow for some semi-efficient scheduling rather than having 
all gridjobs run with the same 24h walltime. And also to reintegrate the 
grid jobs with our existing queues for local users.

So my hands are a little tied here I'm afraid.. ;/
