Has anybody upgraded their DNS to a newer version?  I have a Qube3 at work

 8.3.3 is no problem (easy to compile and install)
 9.x.x is a little more difficult, but has good documentation.

 8.3.3 will work with the DNS GUI, not sure about 9.x.x

8.3.3 is still vulnerable to the recently discovered hacks. I've just read that you need 8.3.4 (if that animal exists), or higher.
