Even if we kept the same general syntax as now, if we introduce variables and if/else, then the "config" has to be "compiled" and "ran" at request time. (Glossing over a lot, I know.) Also, module would have to have some interface to accept the variables and conditionals. Also, we would have to basically write our own domain-specific language. My thought is rather than incrementally attempting to do this, we can just adopt an existing language that fits our needs - like lua. This adoption can be done incrementally, as well. Some examples of that, using a more complete version of mod_lua, have been mentioned. -- Brian Akins
