reload configuration without killing and starting dhcpy6d? #37

Hello, thank you for this DHCP server, which supports MAC addresses...

Is it somehow possible to reload configuration of clients without the need to kill the process first and then starting it again? Some kind of atomic configuration reload, so the service will not be stopped for some short time. We are expecting to run dhcpy6d for some 10000 devices.

Best regards Pep.

The easiest way to do so is storing the config in a database. Currently supported types are MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
