That sounds awesome. Not that it counts, but put me down for an "Aye!" if it comes down to a vote. :) > As for the web connectors, you'll need to ask someone who > understands and > works on them what the plans are for supporting dynamic configuration > changes.

Apache does support dynamic changes, but manual intervention is required. There's no "auto sense". A 'graceful' or 'restart' option to the executable will pick up changes in configuration. > > Craig > John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
