getting a later-version of BIND on various linux OS's

[Rob McEwen]

oops - sorry - I totally missed THIS page:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/bind9/download
...so it seems that there is a way. Still, I'm getting weird errors about:

E: The repository 'http://ftp.debian.org/debian sig Release' does not 
have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is 
therefore disabled by default.

...but I'll work through those and ask a follow-up if I get stuck. Sorry 
for the noise - I can't believe I missed that extra page.
