It would be really nice if there were a way to tell the application to read additional settings from files other than DualServer.ini, perhaps a directive that could be added to the GLOBAL_OPTIONS section such as:

config_dir=path (a directlry in which all files are considered config files)

or

config_file=filename1 (individual config files to be read)
config_file=filename2

Practical examples would be an admin who wishes to block ad servers by maintaining a separate file that would contain only a WILD_HOSTS section or someone who wishes to maintain a separate list of internal hosts using an independent DNS_HOSTS section. As an added bonus, admins who want to use these additional config files on multiple servers, could use a single server for updates and a simple synchronization to replicate the changes to other servers.

    100% agree - very useful for ad-blocking per seperate ini-file.
