[Dnsmasq-discuss] Why doesn't dnsmasq poll or inotify on hosts and resolve.conf?

[Sam Pinkus]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering why dnsmasq doesn't poll or inotify on hosts and
resolve.conf. I think this would be a useful feature, but I cant imagine
it has not been considered before so maybe there is a good reason. Or
maybe it does but just with a long period, or there is an option I
missed? I do realize I could restart dnsmasq but I still think it would
be handy if host at least were polled.

Thanks for any help,

-Sam.
