Silly. But how do you change the network without doing a reboot?

what exactly do you mean? you can use bind(1) to rearrange the
per-process (ie, per rio window) filesystem namespace. so you just:

bind /the/other/net /net

and then you are using the other network in that namespace

not sure if that's what you meant. you can change networking stuff by
writing ndb parameters to /net/ndb. ndb is configured in /lib/ndb

oh that’s interesting. But no

I just changed /lib/ndb/local to a different subnet and had to reboot for changes to take.

But really i do need to read up on this bind stuff

i think your impression is right, that things like this would require a reboot.

network configuration was assumed to be rather fixed and some programs
will only apply network configuration once, which is in your case
possibly automatically on boot.

depends of course on what you're running.
and there's always many ways to fix it or to work around it.
