Either way, you should not wait to update bind. :-) If you upgrade to 6.3-STABLE, you should be updating to a 9.3 version of which includes the patch, but it's reasonable to install a later version from ports if you so prefer. If you compile this under 6.2, it would run fine if you later upgrade to 6.3... -- -Chuck
