Hello,
please see attached patch.
This patch is updated version of patch which was introduced in now stalled thread: NSS:
disable midpoint refresh for netgroups if ptask refresh is enabled
I have picked some (from my POV) important comments from the previous thread and pasted
them here.
Thanks!

Makes sense as well to me, because this way neither midpoint refresh nor
expired record request would be scheduled. What I'm not sure about is --
would we expand this condition in the future when we add more background
refresh types?

That would work for me. I don't think we should over-engineer the
solution, after all, the goal was to make it clear to the admin that
they need to tune the config themselves..
