This from Yes, but the minimum version of Net::DNS required has changed. 2.64 and below worked fine with 0.19, which is the version in Debian woody (current `stable'), 3.0.0 doesn't. *That* is an upgrade issue, imho. There's currently a bug open against the Debian unstable SA3 package to properly version the Net::DNS dependency (as this bit us on upgrade as well) and it should be easy to persuade the backports.org maintainer to update the backport once that makes it in to the unstable package. Meantime, if anyone needs it I'm quite happy to share our local backported version of the Net::DNS package (aka libnet-dns-perl in Debian) with anyone who contacts me off-list. Regards, Adam
