I've applied the rule in Linux Mint and still get assigned to the offending server 9 out of 10 times. The only solution I've found is continual pausing and un-pausing to reset the throttling delay in requesting assignments, but getting tedious on 10 rigs that need new WUs every hour or so.
How hard is it to pull the plug on the server and stop assignments to it?

Oh it works all right.
first are you sure the firewall is enabled? By default is not. I went back and added that to my earlier post but
to check
sudo ufw status
and to enable
sudo ufw enable

Also be aware that it will first try to assign to 105 but you'll get a connection error then it will go on to 102. Sometimes it has to go through this cycle several times before you get an assignment. It is going to take longer than what you are used to.
