Sort of. The new configuration code in 3.2 allows per-url and per-server
attributes to be defined. Many of them are not "switched on," so only a
few of the attributes can be set on this basis.
I believe server_max_docs does work in a server context in the current 3.2
tree.
That said, there haven't been any plans for a url context for it. It would
be possible, but it would be a bit difficult to implement. The per-server
restirction is easy because there's a Server object that keeps track of
the URLs to fetch. So it keeps a counter and stops when it hits the limit.
It would be possible to do a url pattern limit, but this wouldn't be as
easy as the server one.
