The only updates I've seen to BIND in recent years were security-related, not functionality. Yeah, I could switch to another DNS server, but like Sendmail vs. Postfix[*] it's better the devil you know etc... That said, if I had to set up a brand new server then it would be in parallel with the old one for a while, serving a different set of domains so that I won't care if I screw things up (I've got quite a few domains that I could subscribe to existing lists in parallel). [*] And I won't even consider switching to EMACS from VI :-) -- Dave
