Problems with BIND from RHN

[Jason Mitchell]

Hi Ronni,

Jason Vas Dias (RH BIND package maintainer) posted a message to the list 
a while back with a URL for BIND 9.3.2 rpm's for RHEL.

They can be found at 
http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/bind/RHEL-4/9.3.2-1_EL4/

I've installed them on several RHEL4 boxes and haven't had any issues 
what so ever, BIND worked "out of the box".

Regards,

Jason
