Harald and Jeff,

When you "upgrade" a PC with a newer motherboard or chip, video 
card, hard drive, you have gone to a different but better system 
with more functionality and capacity.  In software there are also 
"competitive upgrades" which means using a different program 
altogether.  You can upgrade a service by going to a more inclusive 
service, such as a better equipped auto repair center with more 
techs.  You upgrade your DNS by going to a better provider or one 
that is more inclusive, or by changing to a different type of DNS 
program altogether (in Unix, perhaps djbdns).
