We can only recommend that you do. 2.9.22 has known security issues, please
see http://doc.powerdns.com/html/powerdns-advisory-2012-01.html

You would need to run at least 2.99.22.5.

The effects are hard to predict, depending on where you got your 2.9.22
binaries. If static, they might have issues with your very much newer
kernel.

If dynamic, you might get a binary that doesn't start anymore.

We would really recommend upgrading to a version of PowerDNS Authoritative
Server that is current.
