[Dnsmasq-discuss] Second question

[Ken Gillett]

Further to this question, how can CNAME records be defined that can be re-read on SIGHUP?

As far as I can tell, they can only be specified on the command line, or in a conf file (which is only read on startup).

Is there any way to define CNAMEs in a way that changes can be applied without a full restart of dnsmasq.
