cfg_dir recursive?

[local.coder]

Hmmm,

This may actually be an issue of priority ? I haven't tested that  
before when doing this.

Maybe moving your .cfg files that are in customers down a level to  
common may fix the issue. It may be trying to fully vet the file  
before recursing into the sub dirs.

Like I say I haven't seen that before but I haven't tested it either.  
You could also do a second cfg_dir line that points to your common  
service group and other high level files after your customer cfg_dir  
directive.

Try those items and see if it changes the results any.
