Most systems install BIND 8 to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, BIND 9
will attempt to go into /usr/local/bin by default, so you must
modify the PATH or move the old copies.

If moving old copies, do remember about shell hashing, in BASH
if you remove an executable you've run since starting the shell
you need to delete it from the hash, or login again.
