Great :)

I will do that, the upgrade process between versions is fairly painless?

This is a positively ancient version of BIND 9. Don't use it. There were
architectural issues on Windows with that version that were fixed a long
time ago. Use the latest released version which is 9.3.2 or the forthcoming
9.3.3 or 9.4.0 versions.
