Depends how instantaneous we expect the changes to be. Would requiring a

Everyone put on your thinking caps, we need to figure this out!
I think requiring a HUP is fine. It's very standard for any daemon
process to require a HUP in order to reread it's config, be it from a DB
or from a config file.
