Brian,
Would a reservation on that node work? I think you could even do a
combination of MAGNETIC and features in the reservation itself if you
wanted to minimize hassle, though that probably doesn't add much beyond
just requiring that the reservation name be specified by people who want
to use it.

All,
I have a partition where one of the nodes has a node-locked license.
That license is not used by everyone that uses the partition.
They are cloud nodes, so weights do not work (there is an open bug
about that).
I need to have jobs 'avoid' that node by default. I am thinking I can
use a feature constraint, but that seems to only apply to those that
want the feature. Since we have so many other users, it isn't feasible
to have them modify their scripts, so having it avoid by default would
work.
Any ideas how to do that? Submit LUA perhaps?
