I think this works for some separate files specified explicitly, e.g. dhcp-hostsfile, but the lease file is not reloaded on SIGHUP, but kept in memory and flushed from time to time... That's also what the manpage suggests in the "NOTES" section. I'm not sure if leases are destroyed when the corresponding entry in dhcp-hostsfile is removed and SIGHUP is sent. This might be a possibility, but I would not expect that this destroys a still-valid lease. But indeed I find "RemoveDhcpLease" in: https://github.com/imp/dnsmasq/blob/master/dbus/DBus-interface This would certainly be a possibility :-).
