Ah, so basically, map my target devices to nodes via labels, with a set number
of nodes matching a single label value.
That sounds like it would work...

One option, I think, would be to use the Node Labels.
In the Node Configuration page, you can set the "Label" field with a
space-separated list of text-names (labels) that
can be referenced in a Job's configuration page.
Now, what I have done for some projects, is to have a String Parameter in the
job configuration, called HOST_MACHINE,
which represents the Host to run on.
Then in the field to specify the machines on which this job can run, I used
variable to the parameter ${HOST_MACHINE} .
(This field is in the Advanced section of the job configuration page)
When starting this job, I gave the appropriate LABEL (defined in the
host-configuration page) to the HOST_MACHINE param
and not the actual host-name. Jenkins then finds the next available slave/node
with has this label to run the job.
I also used the Throttle plugin to control how many jobs I can run concurrently.
I hope that this helps,

I know I can limit job execution by the job, or by categories, but what I'd like
to be able to do is limit o "one
build per distinct set of parameter values".
Here's the scenario - I have a simple build that updates and runs tests on
a bunch of target devices. This build is
set up to run another job that passes the target hostname/ip as a
parameter. Essentially:
RunAll
Run Another Build: RunOne(host1)
Run Another Build: RunOne(host2)
Right now, "RunOne" is limited to 1 simultaneous execution, but I'd really
like to be able to have unlimited numbers
of RunOne's running, but limit to one each for "host1" and "host2".
Is there any plugin/mechanism that could be used to accomplish this? Note -
host1/host2 are NOT jenkins agent nodes.
