Yes, definitely get 8.2.2-P7. P5 and earlier have a nasty DoS exploit. If you're just using the nameserver for lookups, I think you need the caching-nameserver package also. It's just basic config files that set up bind to just be a caching nameserver. You should be able to find it in the RPMS directory on the CD with a "ls -l cach*".
