I would not support plugins or a dlopen() approach in relayd. And doing dlopen in an external library isn't very nice either. So what information would relayd need for geolocalisation? Do you have more details about the concepts? You could run your geolocalisation service as a daemon itself and let relayd connect via a UNIX socket to query the required information. In relayd, the "query an external tool via the socket to get the destination" could be fairly generic and doesn't even have to be geolocalisation- specific. It could be configured as part of the new filter rules that I committed yesterday. Reyk
