No, all Stop-n-Go is controlled by Reliable.
Mixaster is used only in a client type capacity.
You understand config so see:
POOLSIZE 0
RATE 100

No the pool will not flush without it being filled.

You do understand that Reliable latency is a random time between a

Both Mixmaster and Reliable do have dummy generation functions in
order to thwart such attack. BiKiKii has enhanced dummy mods.
Also the "Minimum Pool Size" mod at BiKiKii and similarly concept mod
