Don't, use 9.4.1-P1

That's an awful lot of work, take you weeks. Adam TKac has already done
it for you.

Well, I would - but simply upgrading if you're using rpms is sufficient.
Leave the files in /var/named (if you're using Red Hat or Fedora).

Depending on your Red Hat version, you can grab a 9.4.1-P1 source rpm
(srpm) at ftp://ipd50aa34e.speed.planet.nl in /pub/FedoraFC6rpms/SRPMS
and rebuild it on most Red Hat and Fedora systems. I've built it - and
it works - on FC6 and RHL5 i386 and x86_64 systems. Thank Adam Tkac for
the spec file :)
