Basically, I'd like to be able to set an inventory for each channel, as well as mark some ads as "remnant." So you'd tell channel A that it has an inventory of 10. When serve.php creates its list of ads to select from in channel A and it finds, after weighting, that it has, effectively, 7 ads, it would pull in three more that are
marked "remnant" (and in the appropriate group) to round out the selection.
Basically, on the one hand I need to be able to predict, based on past traffic, how many impressions I can serve in each channel, so I can set an inventory -- we're telling advertisers their ad will run 1 week and is likely to get an estimated 5,000 impressions, for example. There, the problem I keep running up against is the overlapping channels... At the same time I need to be able to keep them from getting 50,000 impressions when we're undersold.
Thanks.

When the ad_channel module is enable, you have the ability to define any advertisement as a remnant. When defining channels, you may optionally specify an inventory. If you define an inventory of 10 and there are only 7 active ads in the channel, 3 more will be randomly selected from those defined as remnants.
