Let Zn be the proportion of black balls at time n and 0{$\leq$}L{\ensuremath{<}}U{$\leq$}1 random barriers. At each time n, a ball bn is drawn. If bn is black and Zn-1{\ensuremath{<}}U, then bn is replaced together with a random number Bn of black balls. If bn is red and Zn-1{\ensuremath{>}}L, then bn is replaced together with a random number Rn of red balls. Otherwise, no additional balls are added, and bn alone is replaced. In this paper we assume that Rn=Bn. Then, under mild conditions, it is shown that Zn{$\rightarrow$}a.s.Z for some random variable Z, and Dn?{$\sqrt{}$}n(Zn-Z){$\rightarrow$}} }
