I would build BIND 8.2.2-P5 in some directory of your choosing.
As for installing the binaries, I am not sure what is done in the
final step of the recommended installation process.  What I did
was to copy the new binaries
     named
     named-xfer
     nslookup
     dig
     ndc
to the execution directory (in my case /export/home/named)
with "-822p5" suffixes.  Then I wrote a script to rename the current
executables to _______-812 and rename the _____-822p5 executables to
_____.  I wrote another script to reverse the process in case I had
to back out the changes.
