Currently, I handle ini loading in two stages; firstly, I use -inimaster to load up settings from a web-based central ini. Secondly, I use -inifile pointing to a local small ini file with local storage settings and any settings that I want to specify to override the central ini.
You say that your proposal has -inipath local directory, -inifile for url, merged last, which is the opposite for me. At least I believe it is - correct me if I have misunderstood. Currently, I can have all region servers on a grid set to use XEngine in the master, but have a small local ini on one server to use DotNetEngine, for example. Or different physics, chat range, etc. My goal is to have as little to change on each region server as possible, otherwise I spend most of my time hand-editing 15 to 20 ini files for each upgrade. If this goes ahead that's ok - I can extend my own admin tools to serve up region server specific ini settings all over the web (which was my end goal in any case). Just wanted to flag it in case anyone else had picked up on it and wanted to use it.

It merely adds another options, namely, _if_ inimaster is a local _path_, descend into it. That won't change a thing about the handling of a URL. The rename would mean that grids would need to adjust, but the rename is the least important part of the proposal and could just as soon not happen.
