Systemd script

[Josep Manel Andrés]

You are right, I think I will give it a try. So I guess that I will have 
to prepare two packages (at least) if I wanna run it on a chroot env.

bind and bind-chrootenv packages.

And I think I should get the specs files from the 9.9.6P1 available on 
the SLES12 Repos.

Thanks a lot!
