I can second that. We run a pair of servers plus a staging server. We make changes and test the code on the staging server. If it passes, we sync to a git server. We run a script that causes the production servers to pull the new config from git and restart,
one at a time.</div>

I run a pair of servers with all leases (~40k active right now, out of ~370k defined) in failover pools and routinely change the configs and restart with no interruption to service, as Simon just indicated.<br>
<br>
I push new configs to both servers and then the servers test them and, if they pass, restart on alternate minutes (primary on even minutes, for example, and secondary on odd minutes).<br>

Not with the ISC server. However, a restart should be very quick for any reasonable configuration - and if you use dual servers with failover, then no interruption in service to end devices.<br>
