Yes, and there is also the issue of what to do about the IRS library is someone else has mentioned. I vote against changing the 2.2.x BIND from 4.9.x to 8.1.x, but 3.x is a different kettle of fish. BTW, there are a number of patches floating around for 8.1.1 which should be included if this version is integrated. You might want to wait for 8.1.2 which appears to be in the works since I just got a confirmation message that one of my patches will be included. --- Truck
