I have just recently submitted a set of programs to mod.sources that
deals with exactly this problem.  Many sites in Minnesota have been
running multibatch/uucast for some time now, and it works pretty well.
I have already written an article to this group explaining how the

you should keep your eyes on mod.sources for further details.
