upgrading packages

[rmday]

I was wonderinig what is involved when upgrading packages (php, apache, webalizer, ect.. to a new version?
Do the configs have to be redone or does direct admin some how update them when new versions are added? Or does direct admin use its own configs and does not need the regular ones?

Also would like to know if if is possible to have a direct admin server do DNS and mail for another server (windows Box)?
Our linux server currently run DNS and mail for it now.

Thanks in advance...

The services you mentioned above can be upgraded with the customapache tool. As far as I know, configurations are backed up and restored after the update. The last time apache's configuration was changed by DA required by to regenerate it with the new template manually.
