I need help with a schedule that has a couple little twists that I have not yet seen in these listings.

I work for a consulting firm under a military contract in a Network Operations Center. Requires 24x7x365.
We have either 4 or 5 people to stand the watch(the 5th man could be a normal day watch, used as a floater
to fill in for sick days, etc).

Catch: our firm requires minimum billable hours (salary workers, no union) based on a 40 hour work week.
So some months have 23 work days (23*8=184 hours) and some months have 20 (20*8=160 hours).
So we are really hampered by the 1 month constraint. We are not allowed to "carry over" hours from month to month,
but a schedule that gets us as close as possible to the monthly hours is the goal
(schedules with 7 days off just wont work - I believe).
Since the position is 24x7, vacations & holidays are not applicable to the equation (as well as lunch breaks-we eat at our desk).

Any and all schedules (8/10/12 hour based rotations) are greatly appreciated.
