Why 7.1? 7.3 will require fewer updates after the upgrade, and is probably the most stable of the 7 series.I haven't made a decision yet on which is the best path. Both machinesYes. Bind is more strict now. Before upgrading, you should copy all of

7.1 involve any major changes to bind?
the named configuration and zone files to a 7 series box and try to
start bind. Check /var/log/messages for errors or warnings and correct
them. Make sure your zones actually work from that box. When they do,
upgrade your bind servers and copy those files back to the master.
Are you trying to use an "up2date" from a newer RHL? It's probablyI've installed 7.1 but never upgraded a Linux box. Is the upgrade staight forward? Will the installation recognize what is running and install the appropriate packages? When I run up2date on the 6.2 box I'm told I need to upgrade Python.
close to as much work as a complete upgrade by hand ;)
Upgrading using up2date is unsupported and difficult. It's probably far
easier to compile "apt" on your box and use that to upgrade. It's
unsupported, too, but at least should be less difficult. Get apt from
freshrpms.net.
I played a bit with apt(-get?) to upgrade my 6.2 system to a new 2.4 kernel some weeks ago and it didn't work .... could be very well I made a mistake or 2 ...
