I think it would still be helpful to have a hook that would allow some
type of query of bandwidth available. Perhaps most users would never
use the hook but having the option to call an external routine and
return a bandwidth availability metric would be nice...

You can do that part now by using links... just link all members of a
group to a single template.
Alternatively, you can use a single config file and insert your own
perl code to add control statements (e.g., 'if' or 'switch' clauses)
to set different config parameters based on the hostname...
I use a combination of both the above approaches...
