[cgiirc-general] Multiple configurations

[Rob C. <res...@ve...>]

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but I haven't seen it.
I have all the cgiirc files dumped willy nilly into cgi-bin right now.  However, I want
to have multiple configurations, one of which is password protected.

One way I can think of to two this is to have one which is public.  I already have
that at http://buttersquash.net/irc which as you can see redirects to the irc.cgi
script.

However, I want to have another that allows connecting either to a different set of
channels and servers or any channel and server at all.  I can copy irc.cgi to another
filename, like secret.cgi and then protect that with .htaccess.

However, what I want to do is have a different config file.  What do I have to 
change in irc.cgi to do that, or can I do that through irc.cgi at all?

The reason is that obviously, while having an open cgiirc to one specific channel
is something you can do, having a cgiirc that can connect to anything will rapidly
become a source of abuse and bandwidth consumption.

I can probably figure this out given time, but I am wondering more if anyone
has already done it and has pointers before I go reinvent the wheel.
