The Unix domain members could be treated in the same way, but I suppose you will want to retain the original hostnames & ipaddresses. Before you do anything, I would back up any data, permissions and the smb.conf, that is all you need to recreate a Unix domain member. At this point you could attempt the dist-upgrade (having removed the backports line), it should work, but if it doesn't, you have the backup to fall back on ;-) Rowland
