Inetd that understands load averages

I am looking for an implementation of the inetd, for SunOS ideally, that
understands the concept of system load averages. For example, I would
like several services to cease to be available if the load average exceeds
a certain value (e.g. nntp, spad, uucp, telnetd).
I would like to offer a different version of a service if the system is
heavily loaded - may be a shell script saying "go away, try later" Calls
that are already connected should be uneffected.
I would like to be able to tailor the max and min load averages on a per
service basis. I know that most of this can be done by hacking lots of
separate programs (nntpd, uucpd, spadd, etc, etc). But it would be nice to
have a simple standard way of doing it.
