maybe I'm missing something, but can't you implement this by just 
specifying <max-listeners>0 at the <mount> level ? That would prevent 
anyone from connecting directly to the stream, but would still allow 
fallback transfers....

Also, I'm not sure we need a config option for the "steal clients back"..I 
think that should be the default behavior, as I cannot think of a scenario 
where you'd want to fallback to a mount point and never bring those clients 
back to the original mount point when it becomes available again...The 
configuration file is complicated enough as is....
