[IRCServices] Two feature suggestions

Hey,
during some DDOS attack a few mins ago I came on two ideas for features
ircservices  might/should  provide.  The first one isn't very good but
the second one I'd really recommend to implement:

1)  A command (for example /msg chanserv banchan #channel) that causes
Operserv   to  set  an  akill  on  all hosts in flood-control channels
(channels like #0wn3d you can be sure that only clone(r)s use).

2) A command to set Operservs clone watching more strict for a certain
period  of time. Like if I see an unusual high number or session limit
exceedings, I'd issue the command and it'd:
   a)  set  an  akill  on all hosts that hit the limit during the last
   5-10mins
   b) set the session limit for all new connections to 1 for a certain
   amount of time or until an undo command is issued.

The second  suggestion would be really useful. Any comments? Doable or
not?

Bye
