Updating / Upgrading Components - Newbie

S

ssiAdmin

Guest
I've never upgraded components on a server before. I realize I should be doing this on a test server. I have a VPS I am not using and will probably try my luck there so I don't mess up my production server.

I thought I would start with Bind. I want to do this because I am getting a lot of lame server resolving. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the upgrade prevent the lame server resolving or is that something I need to change in my named.conf file? I am no DNS Whiz. My current version is:
9.2.1-16

I'm running Plesk 7.5.4-rh9.build75050824.12. (under Virtuozzo 3.x on a RHEL4 Box).

Is this something I should download from a Parallels FTP site? If so, where do I go and how do I get a user name and password. I know I've paid for continued access to something.

I know some things like php have been modified by SW-Soft so do I need to download a SW-Soft modified version of Bind or get it from the ISC.org?

Do you recommend I just download the current version and use RPM?

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
