If you use 8.1.1 it shouldn't be any big deal.  In fact our primary
name server is also our primary radius server just like yours.  I
upgraded it the first day I saw the corruption.  Since 8.1.1 is
all userland you just build it, convert named.boot to named.conf,
kill the old named and startup the new one.  Your DNS will only
be down for as long as it takes to load the zone files.
