(racoon 790) Re: Does racoon update its configuration from racoon.conf?

[Brian Buesker <bbuesker@qualcomm.com>]

One word of warning. Although sending racoon a SIGHUP will cause it to 
re-read it's config file, before it does so, racoon will flush all of 
the phase 1 and phase 2 SAs that it had established, so you'll wind up 
having to renegotiate them. There is currently no way to update the 
config file without losing SAs. There have been some discussions on the 
ipsec-tools-devel mailing list about this, and it is a feature we would 
like to add at some point, but there is currently no time frame for 
adding it. If you'd like to work on such support, feel free to do so and 
contribute it back.
