I have also been bitten by this problem. I didn't try much though. I just wrote some scripts to automatically restart the stunnel when CRL is
updated.
Do you manage to restart stunnel without breaking existing connections?
No. I agree a soft restart or a config reload would be great.
Lately, I was looking for a signal which makes stunnel close the listen()ing sockets only. A new stunnel instance could bind() to the same local addresses then. However, I didn't find any. All signals a handler is installed for seems to make stunnel exit() only.
A 'soft restart' seems to be a missing feature in stunnel.
