Reloading the whole config is trickier, since there isn't any defined 
codes/commands in NICE for it. So it would be some local extension, not 
available from any other type of system.

That said, having PyDECnet able to get node definitions from another 
node would be a great extension, so that it wouldn't have to be 
restarted for this reason.

You just need some way of triggering it as well...
