ProFTPD module mod_autohost
The mod_autohost module allows for server configurations to be configured
in individual files, and for those configuration to be used in an "on demand"
fashion. Rather than loading the configurations into memory when the daemon
starts up, the daemon will check the IP address and port being contacted by a
connecting client, check in the filesystem for a mod_autohost configuration
file for that address/port, dynamically parse the configuration, and insert
the configuration into the session's process space. Thus changes to the
configuration are seen whenever a client connects, without requiring a daemon
restart. The memory footprint is reduced because proftpd, via mod_autohost,
only reads and uses the needed configuration.
