MFR Chunkloaders in dimensions that do not load at start up do not reload after server restart

Greetings,
I'd like to bring up a issue I've encountered with MFR Chunkloaders. Any MFR chunkloaders in rfTools (and Mystcraft ages I suspect as well) do not automatically load after the server has been reset. You must visit the dimension and then the chunkloader will run from that point forward until the next restart.
ChickenChunks has a config option which allows reloading of Mystcraft ages after a restart and those seem to work well with rfTools, however, in my modpack I want to discourage "free" chunkloaders which do not require RF or some other form of upkeep.
Thank you for looking in to this suggestion
I thought this was a feature of MFR chunkloaders... to allow server admins to restart to unload chunks which may be causing problems.
It's not a feature so much as it is a function of how minecraft loads dimensions. Non-"permanent" dimensions simply do not load off disk until they are visited, and as a result MFR does not processes any data in or for those dimensions until they load.
When I do implement loading of dimensions that contained chunk loaders prior to shutting down, I will make it a configuration option. Possibly make persistent chunk loaders cost more energy, probably also configurable.
