[news.software.b] wanted: expire on demand

I know that somebody once wrote a version of expire (or something
that runs on top of expire) which expires articles faster when the
news partition is short on space.

I need something like that.  My news server is an RS/6000 (which I'm
sure you've read about here), and even with default expiry set at 2
days the 167 MB news partition occasionally fills up because of
variations in our news feed.  I've looked in all the usual places for
this expire-on-demand program and I can't find it.  Any pointers would
be greatly appreciated.
