I think the patch applies to 1.NOVM as well.

reload-into-ims is present as a global option as well, so you don't need
to patch anything to get that functionality. Remove it from the refresh
pattern and add
reload_into_ims on

Yes. Setting lm-factor to a "infinite" value is currently the same as
override-lastmod.

It is counted in seconds from the request time, so it really does not
matter if it is set to a large value or a huge value, the effect is the
same. One year is 60*60*24*365=31536000 seconds.

The maximum is what fits into the types time_t and int on your platform
(usually 2^31, or 68 years).
