Rules from database & rules.rules

[Gareth Campling]

Has anyone got any examples of reading the whitelist and/or spam.actions
out of a MySQL database, if anyone had got any examples or can shed some
light on this topic it would help me out really as wanting to setup a
small geographical cluster with round-robin dns so MySQL replication
would help me outbig time.
