No. If you want to add node E to the existing VPN, you only have to copy
node E's host config file to one of existing nodes, say for example A.
Then you copy A's host config file to E, and add ConnectTo = A to E's
tinc.conf. Then you (re)start E's tincd. You don't need to restart the
tincd on A, and you don't have to do anything with the other nodes.
