More questions...(CentOS 5.5, bind-9.7.1-P2)
The arguably easiest way to deal with this, if you prefer a recent version
of bind on CentOS, is to grab the most recent srpm from the updates/testing
directory of your nearest Fedora mirror and simply* rebuild it. Current
Fedora 14 (testing) version is 9.7.2-1.fc14.
* for more or less interesting values of simply.
If you're interested, a reasonably easy way to rebuild packages (albeit
a bit space-heavy) is to use mock:
1. Install EPEL for your distro - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
2. yum install mock
3. wget <the source rpm>
4. mock -r epel-5-<arch> <the source rpm>
The bind 9.7 RPMs from Fedora seem to rebuild for RHEL5 and derivatives
just fine using this method, and it beats spraying compilers and dev
libraries all over your nameservers - mock runs in a (disposable) chroot.
Note that mock does not itself need to run on a RHEL5 box; it'll
cross-compile just fine.
