ive been outta the hlds loop for almost a year now ... hopefully ill be able 
to get my ns server up again in a few weeks :)
i only ever had the 3.1.1.1 ebuilds in portage because i saw they fixed 
exploits ...

yep, 3.1.1.0, 3.1.1.1, and 3.1.1.1d are now in portage

yeah, i added 1.16.2 today which defaults to binary install unless user has 
USE=src ... oddly it worked for me just fine ... or i could just be smokin

i havent been following webapps so i have no idea what you're refering to ...
