When messing around with this, I have used a load sensor to determine if a machine is already running the particular type of job and then favoured it with a soft request to try and pack them. It's more keeping track of how many licenses are available that's not handled properly.
I know there are the flex type setups that modify the value of the complex regularly, but (at least with my understanding of them) that's just not gonna cut it if you submit a few hundred jobs virtually simultaneously to a farm.
