It would be slightly more involved than that I'm afraid. A scenario similar to what you describe would be a considerable amount of work. For an outage that is expected to be less than 15 minutes of what is a redundant service anyway. -- Brett Carr RIPE Network Coordination Centre Manager -- DNS Services Group Singel 258 Amsterdam NL GPG Key fingerprint = F20D B2A7 C91D E370 44CF F244 B6A1 EF48 E743 F7D8

Pardon me for asking, but why do you need a maintenance window to upgrade the DNS server? You can for example reroute the IP to another server while you perform the upgrade.
