How would you upgrade bind or any running server without disrupting the service ? Even making binary patches won't solve this issue, i think. The question is : do you really need to upgrade ? (for that BIND advisory, i'd say yes ...) Maybe a compilation server for nightly buildworlds and make installworld/installkernel over NFS on your servers will solve your problem. if you need to reboot web servers, there is a very nice way to reboot them with a very short down time with ipfilter. block in quick on XXX proto tcp from any to any port = 80 flags S (which prevents any new connection, while allowing established ones to complete) wait until sockstat displays no established connection, and simply reboot. -- Erwan Arzur NetValue ltd.
