In this case, just the ch1.php.net alias, and keep your ch.php.net alias. For it2.php.net, you'll keep the it2.php.net alias, and add it.php.net. > 2.

Yes, sorry, I completely forgot about that. In the past, I've always permitted the latest distribution-provided versions for those who use package managers as opposed to those who compile PHP. So for anyone following this discussion: if you're using distro-provided packages of PHP, you may use the latest build. Please contact me to let me know if this is the case with you as it is with Jaime. For those of you compiling it yourselves, please use PHP 5.3 >= 5.3.10 or the PHP 5.4 branch. Thanks for pointing this out, Jaime. -- </Daniel P. Brown> Network Infrastructure Manager http://www.php.net/
