[Dnsmasq-discuss] How to get dnsmasq to see changes in files in /etc/dnsmasq.d?

[Petr Menšík]

Normal conf-file or conf-dir is not re-read upon receiving SIGHUP 
signal. You would have to use special servers-file for that. If you 
explicitly add your blacklist using 
servers-file=/etc/dnsmasq.d/blacklist.conf, it should be able to read 
that blacklist again. I am afraid there is no servers-dir variant, which 
might watch for file changes automatically.
