RE: Efficacy of rule specification, processing

Requirements generated by these state variables are that every box claiming
the "OPES stamp" will have to provide the functionality, e.g. my proxy/cache
device suddenly must also be able to check and monitor network conditions,
CPU & I/O load, ...

If needed by the group may be we can start with a limited set of variables
like local system load. But this will also require a change to the rule
language to support arithmetic expression, otherwise we could use regexp but
limit to some keywords. 

Can we hear from people building systems like proxy/cache or other ?

Thanks
Christian
