If you need 9.10 for json, and you want to stay with Centos, you WILL be 
doing your own builds.  I am working with C7 and it is 'only' 9.9.4 (or 
at least that is what dig is reporting).

There are a lot of fun debates that if you are using selinux on Centos, 
you do not need chroot.  In fact chroot introduces its own set of 
challenges.  I tend to believe this, though it was years ago that I went 
through the arguments.

There are people on the Centos list that build their own bind.  Ask over 
there.
