yes, I also experimented with it the last weeks. However, there might be
some special cases we need to solve:

In my case I need to add a certain configuration for all pages where a
frontend plugin ter_fe_pi1 is installed. At the point when localconf.php
(or ext_localconf.php) is executed, there's no database connection yet. And
we cannot just create one because DBAL might not yet be configured.

Without knowing really the internals of RealURL I therefore suggest to move
the configuration from the localconf.php to a RealURL specific location
which is parsed directly from RealURL when a DB connection already exists.

Kasper, you have been working on RealURL recently - is it likely that you
get back to it (maybe after finishing workspaces) to work on such a
solution?

Cheers,
robert
