This version of BIND has a major known security issue.

Me, I'd upgrade to BIND 9.2.0rc5 and use the "version" option is
named.conf.

But I guess 8.2.5 will work like that as well, and the upgrade
will be easier.

See the list archive at www.isc.org for more ways of doing this,
as well as discussion as to whether it is a good idea.
