Or dynamicConfigHistory=0 which would keep none. Does that sound like a reasonable approach? A default value of 0 would be what most people expect, although it is a change for people already wanting a folder full of files. I agree that dynamicConfigFile should point to the actual dynamic file, not sometimes to the real file and sometimes to the prefix of the real file. If there is any history worth keeping, then rolling them over log style (either with timestamps or config id) is a much more understood behaviour.
