bogdan,

while implementing mi interface for permissions module i was reading
your domain module mi code and have a question.  in mi_exports

static mi_export_t mi_cmds[] = {
	{ MI_DOMAIN_RELOAD,   mi_domain_reload,   0,  mi_child_init },
	{ MI_DOMAIN_DUMP,     mi_domain_dump,     0,  0 },
	{ 0, 0, 0, 0}
};

when is mi_child_init called?  

what if there is two reload functions like in permissions module:

static mi_export_t mi_cmds[] = {
	{ MI_DOMAIN_RELOAD,   mi_domain_reload,   0,  mi_child_init },
	{ MI_DOMAIN_DUMP,     mi_domain_dump,     0,  0 },
	{ MI_ADDRESS_RELOAD,  mi_address_reload,  0,  mi_child_init },
	{ MI_ADDRESS_DUMP,    mi_address_dump,    0,  0 },
	{ 0, 0, 0, 0}
};

mi_child_init that initializes db, should be called only once, not
twice.

why is mi_child_init associated with individual mi commands and not with
mi process?

looks like i don't understand how this is supposed to work.
