What seems to work best is to

(b) install an apt/preferences file (preferring potato over woody)
(c) put both potato and woody lines in sources.list
(d) mix and match as you wish (e.g. apt-get install samba/woody)

Unless I'm mistaken, swap in the 2.2 and 2.4 kernels only gets used when you
run out of RAM. So if you are upping your RAM and not upping the number of

anything, but disk space is too cheap to make it worth repartitioning

My guess is that your intranet boxes are pointed to multiple DNS servers.
They contact the first and it times out, then they contact your new DNS

For dns caching, I would say use dnscache from djbdns instead. However
running both a dns cache for internet names and a dns server for private DNS
names requires ip aliasing, which is a bit annoying.
