I would advise doing that anyways since qmail accesses the control directory a
lot and accessing it across NFS can degrade performance...

There are only certain control files that require HUP'ing or restarting
anything... specifically the ones that qmail-send uses.. everything else is
read on a per-invocation basis (qmail-smtpd, qmail-remote, etc)
locals and rcpthosts are HUP of qmail-send
queuelifetime, bouncefrom, bounceto, doublebounceto, doublebouncehost, me,
concurrency{local,remote} all require restart of qmail-send.
Note that this is not an exhaustive list of control files that require
qmail-send to be restarted, they're just what I could think of off the top of
my head. Also, if you have any patches (although I don't know of any ..)
that give qmail-send some extra control files, those may require restarting
qmail-send.
