I am planning to put 2 NetBSD machines into production as servers
here. 

What is the best way to approach this? I have installed 1.0, and it seems to
be doing okay, but would I be better off moving to -current, or something
in between?

One of the machines will likely be a nameserver, and will need to have
basically permanent uptime. The other can be slightly more variable in
uptime, if it gives some gain in other areas.

Any thoughts on a general strategy, or any specific hints?
