You could also prevent (or probably better, prefer) it to not run on a 
set of previous hosts by doing something like the following in your 
submit file:

match_list_length = 3
rank = LastMatchName0 =!= Name && LastMatchName1 =!= Name \\
       LastMatchName2 =!= Name

See the condor_submit man page, and perhaps the following old post to 
this list:
