That's for you to decide:

Of course RHEL/CentOS make it somewhat hard to know what "9.8.2" means
without reading change logs.  They tend to select stable software versions
at release time, then backport fixes with their own version numbering.  So
"Red Hat's 9.8.2" likely has fixes for a lot of the "ISC 9.8.2"
issues...but you might want to confirm vs assume that.

Understood.  Happily, running secure DNS infra is one of the things that
pays my mortgage.  :-)
