processed / evaluated Explanation: As I said in my discussion entry, these "Regeln" are called "directives" in most cases, and often the config file of server programs allows for directives to be processed/evaluated/interpreted/considered/read according to a priority order which may in turn be configurable; if there are no matches, some default directive applies. This is especially true for IP addresses, e.g. a server may be configured not to listen to a certain group of hosts (not to allow requests from an IP address range or network segment) but with an exception for one or two hosts from that group (which is why the config. is as flexible/complex as described). Or for instance, a network print server may deny certain users (i.e., hosts) access to certain printers in the printer pool, and normally it identifies those hosts via their IP addresses. Many other server or program functions may be configurable according to that scheme, which is used in many applications. S the same logic may apply to programs which are not servers, in which case "rule" might be a more suitable term for "Regel". Some examples of "directives" being "processed" here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/rzaie... http://allafrica.com/tools/apache/mod_proxy/mod_proxy_man-kh... http://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/configuration/ba... As I said, a variety of terms are possible (some of which I have used above). For instance, in the case below, "rules" are "executed" (but it's basically the same principle): http://www.cisco.com.az/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/ac... |
