Upgrade Bind 8.2.3-1 to 9.2.1

[Darrel Louis]

Hi,

Question about Bind upgrade.
I'm running Redhat 7.0 with Bind 8.2.3-1.
If I'm upgrading to 9.2.1, do I need to reinstall Bind totally or will the command
"rpm -Fvh " do the upgrade.

Because Bind is running chroot at the moment and installed in a different Directory.

Thanx

I think you mean -Uvh or --update assuming there is an RPM for 9.2.1.

I've done this under SuSE and the only problems were it zapped my /etc/named.conf into named.conf.rpmsave and recreated some default zones I'd removed. I've also done the update from the source. That also messed with named.conf.

So make sure you back up the named.conf and any zone files it references before updating.

If I remember right there was a couple of changes on default TTLs also the authorization for updates but named will tell you as it starts up.
