This is, in effect, what I already do. I don't have htsearch in the
cgi-bin directory, just several perl wrapper scripts (the one named
htsearch is a trap!) that force the config file issue before passing the
query to the real htsearch.
The wrapper script can be sensitive to the calling environment. I make use
of $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'} to see if the caller is (a)my office system (which
allows me to test config file changes), (b)inside the .ox.ac.uk domain or
(c)anywhere else.
I don't claim it's a foolproof system but it traps the explicit selection
of the 'private' config file and continues the query with the 'public'
config file.

Malcolm.
