Recommended? It's more a personal preference thing, isn't it? If so can this be accomplished using the portupgrade command No. Portupgrade will upgrade 8.3 to 8.4. or should a different method be used like downloading bind9.tar.gz file and running make install? No. Use the ports. Make backups of your .conf and .zone files. Then go to /usr/ports/dns/bind8/ and make deinstall. Then go to /usr/ports/dns/bind9/ and make install clean. Then read the pkg-message and follow the instructions in it. You'll have to enable bind in rc.conf. Make sure you *read* the instructions.

What I did was: # cd /usr/ports/dns/bind9 # make install clean and updated /etc/rc.conf with named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named" worked fine for me. I chose not to overwrite the system's version. -- Jonathan Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea.
