Unfortunately not, this is a feature we really need. > 2: Do I have to restart ATS for "map" rule change? So far, seems to me I have > to do it. Otherwise, the new rule added is not picked up.

After editing or pushing the new remap.config, all you should have to do is traffic_line -x (running as a user with appropriate permissions). > > The problem I am facing is that if the new "map" rule is not created > correctly, the restart will fail and cause outage.

Hopefully it would also say something in the syslog and/or error logs. If you do a restart, that is obviously not an option, it'll simply refuse to restart with a broken configuration. -- Leif
