  You should really upgrade to 3.2.1.

  Yes.

  No.

  HUP only reloads a few things.  It's just too hard to reload clients and home \
servers on the fly.

  3.2.1 has some provisions for reloading home servers dynamically.  But you can't \
just HUP the server, it's more complicated than that.  See \
raddb/home_servers/README.md in the 3.2 distribution.
