 {subsubsection: Strategy}
 We will use HTCondor's "fetch work" configuration to run a script on each execute machine that periodically generates a job classad for Folding@Home work.  Those jobs will have a retirement time of 0 so that they can be pre-empted by jobs sent from a Schedd.  These jobs will all be run by a dedicated user named *backfill*, and the Startd will give negative RANK jobs from the *backfill* user.
