Yes, you will need to restart Bucardo for something that fundamental of a 
change. In the future, such a change will be made via:

$ bucardo update table foo herd=abc

Always check afterwards: commands such as:

$ bucardo add table foo herd=abc

may appear to work, but they won't *remove* the table from the old herd.
