Hmm, not quite as useful. You'd need to flag every host NOT to record.
But even better would been to have a flag for the new behavior
and leave the original behavior intact. But that would have been
a 'patch', not a 'hack', and I was in a world of hurt when I
came up with that hack as the shortest distance between two
points.
For anyone to whom it's just not obvious what this does, consider you
are getting hammered by some system 1.1.1.1
1.1.1.1,RECORDIO=""
:allow
will record just the io for that host and bypass all of the forky/pipey
stuff recordio would be trying to do for all other connections, also makes
for smaller logs.
In fact I'll probably just leave recordio in place permanently, what's one
extra exec per delivery?
