BIND through COPR after CentOS

[Ondřej Surý]

Hear, hear, please stay on topic. And the topic here is BIND 9, not a personal choice of operating system or particular distribution. Particularly, I believe it would be better to avoid discussing CentOS at this particular time.

That said, we at ISC will do the best to support any choice of operating system you’ll as users make.
