My understanding is that the script-conf feature was to be used to
reduce filesystem storage usage, ie instead of a conf-file full of lines
like
address=/domain1.com/
address=/domain2.com/
Juts the list of domains could be stored, in compressed form, and then
they would be decompressed and

The first delay can be solved by doing the download before stopping the
old dnsmasq process. The second is amenable

I unfortunately don't have a build environment, so I hope someone else

Looking forward to the outcome.

Let's try thinking out of the box here. Given the motivation to save
storage, I was wondering if there could be a way to use compression,
gzip etc to save more space.
Building a decompressor into dnsmasq seems ugly, but then I came up with
the option of --conf-script=/path/to/script.
I have a feature request.
Since dnsmasq is extremely popular on embedded devices with limited
resources (e.g. router) it would be a huge improvement to have a new
directive to block a list of domains.
Practical example:
We currently need to add an external file to the main config (preferred)
