You can configure a NIM server to be a NIM client too. Still, that won't help you in upgrading the first NIM server, as you cannot install a version later than what the NIM server was installed with. You could, though, install all your other NIM servers from the one you install now.
Under "normal" circumstances (in other words: as far as i know ;-) ) there is nothing special to consider in upgrading the system because of its special role.
You could, btw., use the alt_disk_install method even when installing from CDs, which would reduce the downtime of the NIM server and would allow you to revert to the previous state in case something goes wrong.
For security reasons you could varyoff the VG wth the NIM resources (you don't have them in rootvg, do you?) and take an mksysb image from the system before the update, but i suppose you know that yourself.
I hope this helps.

Hi all,

net::smtp::server::relay
Server::Relay(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Server::Relay(3pm)
NAME
Net::SMTP::Server::Relay - A simple relay module for Net::SMTP::Server.
SYNOPSIS
use Carp;
use Net::SMTP::Server;
use Net::SMTP::Server::Client;
use Net::SMTP::Server::Relay;
$server = new Net::SMTP::Server('localhost', 25) ||
croak("Unable to handle client connection: $!
");
while($conn = $server->accept()) {
# We can perform all sorts of checks here for spammers, ACLs,
# and other useful stuff to check on a connection.
# Handle the client's connection and spawn off a new parser.
# This can/should be a fork() or a new thread,
# but for simplicity...
my $client = new Net::SMTP::Server::Client($conn) ||
croak("Unable to handle client connection: $!
");
# Process the client. This command will block until
# the connecting client completes the SMTP transaction.
$client->process || next;
# In this simple server, we're just relaying everything
# to a server. If a real server were implemented, you
# could save email to a file, or perform various other
# actions on it here.
my $relay = new Net::SMTP::Server::Relay($client->{FROM},
$client->{TO},
$client->{MSG});
}
DESCRIPTION
The Net::SMTP::Server::Relay module implements simple SMTP relaying for use with the Net::SMTP::Server module. All this module does is to
take a given message and iterate through the list of recipients, doing DNS lookups for the associated MX record and delivering the
messages. This module makes extensive use of the plethora of other modules already implemented for Perl (specifically the DNS and
Net::SMTP modules in this case), and should give but a glimpse of the potential for extending the Net::SMTP::Server's functionality to
provide a full-featured SMTP server, native to Perl.
The above example illustrates the use of the Net::SMTP::Server::Relay modules -- you simply have to instantiate the module, passing along
the sender, recipients, and message. More formally:
$relay = new Net::SMTP::Server::Relay($from, @to, $msg);
Where $from is the sender, @to is an array containing the list of recipients, and $msg is the message to relay.
