It's best to do a full restart if you are adding, removing or changing
the pool parameters or existence.

In a restart they will be given the regular shutdown_timeout to complete
(at their assiged pool speed) before being terminated.


If you are just changing the acess controls a reconfigure should be fine.

In a reconfigure / SIGHUP active requests will be detatched from their
pools, and complete with unlimited speed. Yes, this is an open bug and
needs to be fixed.
