It *must* also be able to load new configuration without dropping in-process DNS queries on the floor, otherwise users will experience hung DNS a non-trivial amount of the time.
The better way is to add/remove zones + servers from dnsmasq over D-Bus, which NM does not yet do since the patches are not yet upstream, or to use some other socket-based protocol like unbound does with dnssec-trigger.
Sure, makes sense. This workflow bits need to be worked out still. File based configuration is just an example. Important is that dynamic name servers augment the local name server rather than replace it.
