[BFilter-users] Signal handler request

[gypsy <gy...@is...>]

I'd like to be able to

killall -USR1 bfilter

and have it reload /etc/bfilter/config.  Better yet, changes made to
~config should be dynamic such that each request would check ~config for
changes before getting the requested document.  That's because I run
bfilter as a tsr listening on my internal interface 192.168.1.254:8080
and I may want to proxy that through privoxy (which listens on :8118)
rather than passing the request on to Apache directly.

I am confused by "next-hop".  What is its purpose/what does it do? 
Could we please have comments in ~config and/or docs on sourceforge?

BFilter is AWESOMELY fast!  It is a bit of a memory pig, but I can live
with that.  I had to compile it on a pre 9.0 version of Slackware
because it won't compile under gcc 3.2.2 (but then you warned me it
probably wouldn't); it would be nicer if something could be done to get
gcc 3.x to work.

Q:  Does rules.local override or supplement rules?  IOW, if rules.local
is empty, does rules still apply?

If there is a bash/perl/Etc. guru out there who wants to write a
conversion program that reads privoxy's *.action files and writes
rules.local, that would be A Very Good Thing for a ~/contrib directory
(hint hint).

WELL DONE!  Thanks!
