Radmind update to 1.11.0
With the update to the new Radmind version, 1.11.0, we are going to have to ensure that the Radmind tools go out to the clients before the servers are upgraded. The new version changes the server port from 6662 to 6222, the new IANA-registered standard. The client versions of the tools (fsdiff and lapply are the most relevant or our daily purposes) will fail through to 6662 if 6222 is unavailable, but if the server is running 1.11.0 while the clients are running an older version, the clients will only look for the old port and never find the new one. In short, the client and server will miss each other completely. The transition should work just fine as long as we ensure that all stations receive the new tools before the servers.
We may investigate forwarding port 6662 to port 6222 on the servers as we upgrade them in order to prevent this failover from affecting older or nonworking stations that don't receive the update from getting new updates.
