[Mono-list] Webservise Discovery Language

[Kornél Pál]

ASP.NET applications should reload automatically on Web.config change so 
there should be no need for restarting mod-mono-server (if you mean that on 
mono). If you have a problem like that please file a bug report.

If you mean the Web.config modification described on 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tewz1055.aspx in "To enable dynamic 
discovery for a Web service" I suggest you to create your own IHttpHandler 
implementation that wraps 
System.Web.Services.Discovery.DiscoveryRequestHandler and that will make you 
able to disable it based on static fields or your own configuration files. 
If you use this method I can send you a simple implementation of this.

You are using some other Web.config settings please let me know what exactly 
do you use.
