[Devel] rand function in config file

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi Henning!

How will you find out that there are "too many clients registering on a 
given time"?

I once thought of having a mechanism which checks the input queue of the 
sockets. If it reaches a certain level, some messages get rejected, e.g.:
reject not so critical messages (SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY ...)
reject INVITEs without to tag
allow in dialog requests
reject REGISTER
reject calls to external domains

regards
klaus
