Maturity is a timeout for when Wackamole daemon's run initially. They
don't grab any IPs the first time until the timeout occurs, or until
they hear from someone who is already mature. Balance is just the
length of time between rounds of balancing IP addresses between daemons
(if you configure it to do so incrementally). Neither helps in your
situation, as far as I can imagine. :-(
