 because variables are evaluated when ferm parses the file, not when
 it actually diverts into the domains. Hence it would be better if
 some (all) variables were evaluated on use, not during parsing.

This has been fixed in upstream commit
729e3ed18bd07b313eaa7d7884fb75f8423747e2,
individual evaluation of rules for each domain.
(not yet in a release)

It has been done as one of the approaches for solving issues like the
one you described here with #591329.

Regards,
Faidon

Bug#591230: late evaluation of variables

2010-08-01 Thread martin f krafft
Package: ferm
Version: 2.0.7-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: Max Kellermann m...@duempel.org

I cannot use

  @if @eq($DOMAIN, ip6)

because variables are evaluated when ferm parses the file, not when
it actually diverts into the domains. Hence it would be better if
some (all) variables were evaluated on use, not during parsing.

Thanks,
