External file reads might be cached within the lifetime of a process,
but the daemon which accepts inbound connections should not have read
it, and I believe would invalidate the cache at fork time anyway (I
might be wrong).
So updates should be automatically picked up because each process which
tries to use the data will be opening the file afresh.
