Re: [cobalt-users] DNS ...

Hi

I just did 10 upgrades on my qube3 and it went pretty well. I did have a DNS problem after one of the patches - the DNS records were there but I could not access them via the admin browser software. I called support and they fixed it for me in short order  - I don't do much mangaement except via the browser interface. Apparently, one of the scripts did not fully finish (probably do to power issues on my end). So just back everything up before you start. It all turned out well in the end. Good luck.
