Thanks for the prompt reply Fabian. Yes, from the cursory look it does look
like it will take some effort to handle all the threads and the queues to
handle dynamic config.
I Will try to attempt it myself in pieces, maybe support adding/deleting
servers first and then look at clients and so on. Will share my progress
with the forum.

Greetings ! I am looking at a usecase wherein we want radsecproxy to
handle config changes on the fly instead of having to restart the whole
process.
For example, say we add/del new radius servers or clients without
affecting the existing sessions/threads.
As I am comparing a few design choices to make this happen, wanted to
check if someone has already worked on it ? If it is in roadmap for the
immediate future,
any design concepts someone might have already thought of but were not
able to implement it ?
This is on my personal wish-list, but I haven't done any work in that
direction. I think it will require quite a lot of restructuring, as right
now, most of the code isn't prepared for dynamic config changes (apart from
the dyndisc stuff). I do want to do this some day, but I think there are
more important features right now.
Regards,
Fabian
