I really need help with this One

We have a old firewall using IPTables running on Red Hat Linux 9(which is pretty old). our firewall also acts as a proxy which also authenticates with our windows DC for internet access and so forth.

would it be possible for me to upgrade the linux version without losing any of the current firewall and proxy settings and how would i go about doing this?

I think it's possible to insert the Fedora disk and click upgrade

:/... i'm almost positive fedora has a backup tool.... i stand to be corrected, but let's check this first...

thanks ......I will give it a test run on a copy of the server and will post my results...although i HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.....I want to upgrade to Centos 5.4 so hopefully it's the same as its based on the redhat Linux enterprise edition......
