[Dnsmasq-discuss] rereading configuration files

It would be useful to libvirt if dnsmasq would reread the configuration 
file and/or the files in the configuration directory upon demand (via 
SIG<something>) as is done for some other files.

Right now, when minor changes are made to a network configuration, it is 
necessary to restart dnsmasq to get those changes adopted.

Is this a possibility this could be done or is this one of those things 
that yes, it could be done, but it would require rewriting most of 
dnsmasq. What types of changes might be accommodated? What if these 
changeable definitions were put into a special configuration file?

Example: v6 or v6 dhcp-range.

Example of something that would unlikely be possible: interface=
