Hi Thomas,

i understand. You could of course change/ extend the interface of the pdb, but 
at the moment this functionality is not available. During module startup the 
sockets and server data structures are initialized, so the structure needs 
probably a bit changed.

But let me ask, what kind of changes are done to your routing? Is the routing 
data then completely invalid, or just a more expensive route is taken for this 
particular target? In the latter case a update period of 30 seconds sounds not 
like a big deal to me, after all you probably have also some manual steps 
involved before you do an update.

Cheers,

Henning
