my gen_server get requests via udp and resolves them by asking another web 
service. I would like to like it to some maximum of allowed simultanous 
request (maybe 20, which should not happen btw.)

So I thought it would suffice to just wait some little time and send the request 
again (to myself), in case the maximum is reached.

Buffering is another option, thank you for your code.

cheers
