rsync - Sep 2009 - time variable throttling rsync traffic

I am using rsync to back up across a VPN.  Unfortunately, every so often the 
home office miscreants drop a big block of data into the backup and that 
particular backup cycle takes many hours.  These same people also complain when 
net pipe is filled during the day.

What I need is an ability to change the bwlimit based on time of day.  Any 
suggestions as to how to do this?

How about the suggestions you were given on the rsnapshot list?
