what if /var/qmail/control/smtproutes was replaced with a fifo that
gave a different relay every time it was read?
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
while(++$count){
unlink '/var/qmail/control/smtproutes';
system 'mkfifo /var/qmail/control/smtproutes';
$c=$count % 5; # or however many there are
open R,">/var/qmail/control/smtproutes"; #block until it is read
print R ":bsdrelay$c.macrosys.com\n";
};
__END__
Will the above cause unexpected freezes?
A less intensive solution might be to overwrite the tenth
character in the static file every few seconds, to load up that
relay.
