Why are you "upgrading" to AOLserver 3.4.2 ? That version is
extremely old, and is not and never was supported by OpenACS. Unless
you have some sort of unusual special requirements you haven't
mentioned, you should be using the latest AOLserver 4.0.x release,
currently 4.0.10. You want the latest Tcl as well - 8.4.12 was just
released a few days ago.
You might actually want to use the latest on the AOLserver 4.x branch
from CVS, as if I remember correctly, some DNS related bugs introduced
just before and then fixed after the release of 4.0.10, but
they don't matter for many people anyway, so you might as well try
4.0.10 first.
