Unfortunately it's often quite a lot of work to migrate a system to an
entirely new distribution, but that's a very good point and if you're
having to ask how to upgrade your bind version like this it's probably
also worth mentioning that those old Red Hat versions did have a bad
reputation for security.  Out-of-the-box they were easy prey.  Kona, I
hope you're not running the original ftp daemon (wu-ftpd)?

PS: I'm sorry if my email address keeps hopping from one to another -
something from the bind list is confusing my mailer (Pine) about its
roles.  I think it might be postings coming through newsgroups.
