Package: dnsmasq
Version: 2.72-3+deb8u1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
it would be awesome if dnsmasq could use inotify in case of
--addn-hosts=/a/directory/
this would allow one to dump new files in there (and modify existing
ones) without reloading dnsmasq. The use case is creating hosts entries
for VMs popping up (and disappearing) on the network.
Cheers,
-- Guido

Great! So everything is already there. Closing then. Thanks a lot for
the response!
