I think something like that is possible.  It's not simple, but not horrible.

The HUP logic is there.  It works for a new leap file and new log file when it 
gets rotated.

The config file touches a lot of stuff.  You basically have to diff the old 
and new config file.  Removing a server is simple.  Adding a new server is 
simple.  Removing a tinker operation requires knowing what the default is/was. 
 That's probably another slot in a table.  Similar for fudging things.
