THe scaled overcommitment scheme I suggested over a year ago would  
work well for this:

If the sim as a whole is over 75% of the limit, all parcels would be  
restricted to strict limits.

Below that, scale it so that (for example) 50% of the sim could have  
up to 80% of the limit, 25% of the sim could have up to 60% of the   
limit, 12.5% could have 40%, and so on. The actual numbers would have  
to be tuned, but this would allow you to have a party on your 512 in  
an otherwise empty sim without blowing the parcel limits with the  
dance balls, and without allowing a DOS.

You'd be able to tell if your parcel was over the soft limit, so you  
could keep from having your pet dog frozen if someone else pushed the  
sim over 75%.
