Hi,
I feel there should be some way so that the server can refresh itself automatically with the clients without going down.

Thanks,
Deepak

Deepak,
      Have you considered using a ldap or sql backend instead of flat-file?
    

those , too, will need to be refreshed via a server restart - the SQL
clients are only read upon start.
