[Asterisk-Users] res_config / realtime?

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

hi

According to 
http://voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20res_config, 
res_config allows me to store everything that usually goes into files, 
into a database, but still it requires a RELOAD for asterisk to see 
changes.

Does this mean Asterisk only looks into the database at start/reload, 
as opposed to the old (sip|iax)friends, that worked directly against 
the database in realtime?

thanks
