On MOSES, we had been loading the configuration files across the network 1-2 years back. However, it was unreliable (failing to load the url for unknown reasons), and sometimes did not behave as expected (some values did not appear to be respected). The functionality appears to be rarely used by other grids, so the testing is low. We now have a monitoring process on our region host that pulls the remote config from the url, and then writes the expected OpenSim.ini file before starting OpenSim.exe. The reliability and behaviour improved when we made the switch.

Question:

would it possible to load region information/data from online (grid mode
only of cource)  when setting up a "clean" instance (new database)

opensim.ini:
    ;# {regionload_webserver_url} {region_info_source} {URL to load
region from?} {}
    ;; Determines the page from which regions xml is retrieved if you are
    ;; loading these from the web.
    ;; The XML here has the same format as it does on the filesystem
    ;; (including the <Root> tag), except that everything is also enclosed
    ;; in a <Regions> tag.
     ; regionload_webserver_url = "http://example.com/regions.xml";;

..

maybe experiment with this..??
