I'll continue the discussion here, since it may be a more appropriate
place then in the bugzilla. Regarding the above bug, found at
http://bugs.xiph.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313

the last remark is:

> Allowing connecting clients to specify a dump file will not be
> implemented in the forseeable future, unless a patch is contributed
> (it's a large amount of work to do so).
>
> Since the config file can now be dynamically reloaded, new dump
> locations can be specified without restarting the server.

Can you tell me more about this reloading feature? how does it affect
the dump file? it closes the old file, and opens a new one if another
file name is specified in the newly read config file? how do the clients
experience this re-read of the config file? do they get dropped? what
about the source client? how do I re-read the config file?
