Linux Upgrade DNS.....dirty hand

https://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=46055

For people with CentOS 5 or 6 + DA it is easy to update.

Check if the bind rpm is installed:

Code:

rpm -qv bind

Check if the version is the same:

Code:

named -v

If it is (which is in most cases) you can safely use yum to update the package:

Code:

yum clean all

yum update bind

If it returns no errors, check again to see it's version:

Code:

named -v
