No, it does not - see "man 8 dhcpd":
Whenever changes are made to the dhcpd.conf file, dhcpd must be
restarted. To restart dhcpd, send a SIGTERM (signal 15) to the pro-
cess ID contained in /var/run/dhcpd.pid, and then re-invoke dhcpd.
Because the DHCP server database is not as lightweight as a BOOTP
database, dhcpd does not automatically restart itself when it sees a
change to the dhcpd.conf file.
Note: We get a lot of complaints about this. We realize that it would
be nice if one could send a SIGHUP to the server and have it reload the
database. This is not technically impossible, but it would require a
great deal of work, our resources are extremely limited, and they can
be better spent elsewhere. So please don't complain about this on the
mailing list unless you're prepared to fund a project to implement this
feature, or prepared to do it yourself.
