If I needed to wait until 6.3 is built, then each system would get rebooted and then bind would have to be stopped once more to install the new bind. We are running bind9.3xso we need the upgrade quickly and I just wanted to do it all with as little disruption as possible. It sounds like I can build the new bind first and then do all the cvs upgrades so all that is needed in the wee hours of the morning is a reboot. Many thanks. Martin McCormick
