Not at the moment, and it's a large change to the design to allow configuration to
change at runtime.
I have done a bit of work to allow "change" type NICE requests, starting with
the "zero counters" request. That isn't done yet.
A specific change that should be small and straightforward is updating the list of node
name/address pairs. I'm thinking of doing that in the network mapper, since it
already fetches the current list from MIM. Right now that updates the mapper data but not
the main DECnet node list. Once it does that, you'd be able to do the NCP "copy
from 28NH" request for NCPs that implement that, or an equivalent script, to get the
current database.

Speaking of the API, would it be possible to configure pydecnet via the API?

there now seems clumsy. The existing network application API (see
decnet/application/mirror.py) feels more like what I want, but I need to go back and see
how best to work that for requests initiated from the outside, as opposed to subprocesses
started from PyDECnet.
