You first upgrade to 8.2.5-REL *immediately*, as 8.2.2-P5 has serious,
published security vulnerabilities. See
http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.html
Then use the options statement in your named.conf to have BIND publish
any string of your choosing:
options {
[ ...]
version "I should subscribe to the CERT mailing list";
};
