Couldn't you create a Perl script to run as a cron job that could stat
the file off-line for you and HUP the server when it has changed?
That would seem easy enough. You'd just have to work out the perms on
the cron user to make sure it could affect httpd. Restarting Apache
isn't the end of the world, is it?
