How can I make dynamic remaps without mysql_remap plugin?

[zwoop]

If you need the behavior, we should implement something different such as sqlite, or some non-block APIs (but that gets tricky as a remap plugin).. The mySQL APIs are blocking, and it's a really bad idea to use with ATS. We should just not have plugins with such bad behavior.

How dynamic do the remaps need to be? You could write a config and then use a plugin message to signal a config reload. We're using a similar technique internally.
