Hi. I had what I thought was a clever idea to get dnsmasq to re-read it's whole dnsmasq.conf file when it received a SIGHUP signal. I invoked dnsmasq with the following command line options: -i eth0 --conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.once.conf The dnsmasq.once.conf file was basically empty except for the single line dhcp-optsfile=/etc/dnsmasq.conf My hope was that this would cause the dnsmasq.conf file to be read at startup but this doesn't appear to be the case. Nor does it appear to be read when a SIGHUP is sent to dnsmasq. So, I tried a variation. I added conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.conf to the dnsmasq.once.conf file. However, this created its own problems. Whenever dnsmasq was restarted, I started getting error messages of the form bad dhcp-option at line xx of /etc/dnsmasq.conf So, my question is, is what I'm trying to do a *bad* idea or am I just doing it wrong?
