Custom validation of a custom config value

Hi,

If you have a plug-in that adds a custom config value and an admin updates
that config value, is there a way to have custom validation logic invoked?

For example, let's say you want to add a custom config value that's
associated with each and every account (ex. total.miniops). If the admin
changes this value on an account, I'd like to be able to validate that the
change is OK (ex. that you didn't reduce total.miniops to an amount that
puts it under what has already been allocated by users of the account).

Thanks,
Mike

we do not have validation framework for the configs. We only do simple
validation of datatype check ie) if its boolean, parseBoolean etc.
