Zone Error

[Joe Kattner]

If you want to use RPM, and Redhat doesn't have the latest, check with
rpmfind, and do a search for BIND: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/

Of course you want to verify what ISC has available to ensure you get the
latest/stable version.

That was it thanks.

Any idea where I can get an RPM for Bind 9 ?
