I have a production server that's currently running 5.0 with all

If you've been running yum update, you're already at 5.1. You may just need to reboot to load the new kernel.

If you're unsure if you actually are running centos 5.1, run 'rpm -q centos-release' and you should see 5.1.0- in the release string.
