Monit can be configured to do this, as a side effect of monitoring your 
daemons.


It also likes to be in charge of starting the daemons, which might be 
enough to let you run your dynamic config generator.

You might find sysutils/puppet useful.

Hi

The people from pfSense have done this very nicely.
Maybe you can take a look at how they did this.
It has one configuration file which is in xml format.

Hi,

I think you have had the list twice in the address list.

are you sure that you really need this dynamically?

I believed this too until I realised that a script manually run can do the job

I created a central location for my configuration files and let a script do the 
rest. Of course, it is all static.
