isc-bind service shutdown after update at 9.20.7-1.2.el8

[Michal Nowak]

For BIND 9.20.7 and 9.21.6 we changed the service type from "forking" to 
"notify", also ExecStart now has the "-f" option:

-[Service]
-Type=forking
-ExecStart=/opt/isc/isc-bind/root/usr/sbin/named -u named
+[Service]
+Type=notify
+ExecStart=/opt/isc/isc-bind/root/usr/sbin/named -u named -f

Could you please give us the output of "systemctl status 
isc-bind-named.service" a few seconds after the service started? I'd be 
surprised to find it in the "Active: active (running)" state.

I failed to reproduce your problem on a clean Rocky Linux 8.10.
