If possible I would like to do this without locking a mutex when accessing (reading or modifying) the configuration info. I figure that reconfiguring the server will be a rare event. So if there is some way that I can:

It's really necesary do that?

1 Your app have a reference to a object whith the loaded config
2 A defered take a reference to these object
3 A reread event change the app config reference to new loaded config
object. Old defered no change his reference and end whith old config.
4 New defereds take new config and reference that.
5 When old config object have not references is garbaged collected.

No blocking operation is nedded if you can load 2 configuration
objects in memory (the old one for connections in progress and the new
one).

Excuse my poor english.

Regards,

Javi
