Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PegaProx/project-pegaprox/issues/13

Summary

It should be possible to permanently exclude specific Proxmox nodes/hosts from VM balancing, similar to how ProxLB supports excluding hosts.

We run a Proxmox cluster with two nodes reserved for internal purposes. These nodes should never be targets for VM balancing/migrations.

Use Case

Cluster consists of:
- regular nodes (eligible for VM balancing)
- reserved/internal nodes (must be excluded)
Excluded nodes should not be used as:
- targets for automatic VM balancing
- targets for balancing-related live migrations
- candidates in balancing recommendations

Have I mentioned how much I like PegaProx? ;-)
