Do you have in mind a favorite technique for signaling daemons that the config files have changed? HUP is a common way to do it, but I'm sure there are other ways.
A command-line tool that uses some other method to update the server configuration. It means that the server gets told "X has changed", or "delete client Y", which is hugely less intrusive than a HUP.
HUPs are like kicking the server in the head, and then expecting it to be nice to you. It can be done, but it takes work.
==> I've found really useful the idea of telling freeradius to reload via snmp - could be such functionality easily kept when using your proposed approach?
