Good point re: the database.  But what other mechanism could one use  
across a cluster?

With regards to a postauthenticate hook, yes that'd work.  Basically I  
was looking for something that could be modified from the GUI (like  
alarms) so that it didn't have to be an admin who was intimately  
familiar with the horde code who would have to do it.  If I'm not  
around when things go kablooie we need to be able to have a  
straightforward way close the doors.  At the moment I go into our  
firewall and redirect connections to a static "we're broke" message  
but that's not a particularly elegant solution.
