Some other brain storm ideas -

1. How about running a condor_startd on your dagman/submit machine, and 
the START expression would be something like "only run jobs submitted by 
DAGMan that have been idle for over X amount of time" ?

2. Perhaps you could use the condor_jobrouter to transform a vanilla job 
into a local universe job?

I personally like option #1 better, since then the job remains vanilla 
universe, and the management of jobs is better.

Hope the above helps
Todd
