Installing bind is not very clear for me

[Mike Hoskins (michoski)]

Few points for clarification:

With rhel/centos you're not getting the major version as reported.  You
need to look at the changlog for the package to see what fixes/features
have been backported.  That effort including associated QA is part of what
you're paying for with rhel or getting for free as part of centos.

If you need to build your own, there are community srpms for that so you
don't have to start from scratch.

ISC themselves has moved away from chroot as an absolute best practice.
Critically think if it really makes sense for you.
