Hi,

Is there a way to get natd to reload the config-file without terminating?
The only way I found is to stop natd and then start it again.
As the natd-config changes frequently here (we are changing the used network
and we misuse natd to help us) I expect problems when just shuting down natd
in a heavily used environment. 
If I got it right natd does not keep track about state but anyway if I stop
and start natd frequently I certainly will lose connections, right?
I could not find a way to HUP natd, neither to change its behaviour during 
runtime.
Is there a way to solve the issue or does the problem I see not exist and
in reality nobody will notice anything if natd is stopped and restarted?
