I've updated 3 machines and found no problems.
All raq4s.
All running BIND and DNSing themselves.

I went a head and bit the bullet and did it myself on my raq4i. No problems to report.

hmm. odd.


ok, i went ahead and did it. rebooted.

box finally came up. immediately went to TOP. it's running fine, named is the user. good good. i try connecting to my website, boom, i get mysql unable to connect errors everytime. 4 times.


i look back at top, and the raq is using up ALL of my RAM except like, 90K.

so, i'm confused. so i restart again and it's working fine so far.


whew.
