Dynamic rule "injection"

["Jon Baer" <security () jonbaer net>]

ive recently come across a "deep thoughts by martin" email here:

http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/snort/2000-03/0392.html

as someone who understands the rule nodes (from AI development w/ alice) it
seems like the same problem ... but what id like is very much for snort to
be able to listen for new rulesets + dynamically allocate them directly into
memory with the same idea, an ***example:

listen tcp $CENTRAL 9999 -> $VOID 9999 (content: "[public/shared
key][rule][hash]";)

basically letting snort listen on the wire for dynamic changes + injecting
new rules.

any thoughts on this?  has it been proposed before?  does another mailing
list deal w/ this?
