Don't forget to exclude the bind packages in yum.conf or it will be overwritten in an update. If you do this for the same reason as I do, to get the pre-made /var/named/chroot directory, then you might like this. After the server is first built, I move /var/named/chroot out of harms way and remove all the bind packages. Then I put it back and can make my own bind installation with whatever paths I like.
