Yes, see the wiki on scaling issues and hardware requirements

for example...
[inbound-pri] ; this context handles all inbound calls arriving on our PRI ; dnid is 4 digits from the telco
exten => 3748,1,DBGet(user-chan=inbound/${EXTEN})
exten => 3748,2,Dial(${user-chan})just a very simple example of the concept

Guess this depends upon where in the process of loading a huge extensions configuration is when the call comes in...

Active channels will remain active. In other words a call between to channels will remain in place during a reload.

I believe the only way to force a dialplan reload is through the CLI command: extensions reload, which forces extensions.conf to be loaded in full

Yep, see above comment for just one of the methods to do this, there are quite a few.
