After a configurable amount of time, default 5 seconds, it sends SIGKILL if the process is still running. The command 'reload bind10' sends SIGHUP. Does bind10 respond to this signal as well?

The BIND 10 process doesn't catch SIGHUP.  Moreover, it's unlikely
that the concept of 'reload' is implemented in BIND 10 in its
traditional sense.  BIND 10 will be expected to be more dynamic, and
while you should be able to make configuration changes to running
systems, it will be a more incremental and local change to the
specific part of the entire system that is effected to the change,
rather than the global "reload".
