I once wrote a caching extension to Merit RADIUS to do that - on-the-fly
synchronisation between multiple authentication databases.
Most of the code in builddbm is reusable - pair_parse does all the hard
work of translating back-and-forth from the dictionary. Your program can
just call this to do the syntax checking.
The hardest part is doing database locking between the running daemons and
your updating program. I used semaphores - very fast and very reliable,
much more so than filesystem locks.
