With the "include" directive and "nginx -s reload", have you not enough
support in nginx to do this already?

An external script to periodically fetch the url contents, stick
"set_real_ip_from " at the start and ";" at the end (or do whatever other
manipulation is needed to make correct nginx.conf syntax) and save to
a local file, and then get nginx to use the updated config?

I'm not sure what extra benefit there would be to building something
like this in to nginx.

Perhaps I'm missing something,
