RPM's are bad, mmmkay? Here are 2 reasons why I think you should build it yourself: 1) it's good learning experience. Someday you'll be on a system that doesn't have any fancy package management :) 2) 8.2.2-P5 is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack, you can send named-zxfr requests to an 8.2.2-p5 installation and crash it, even if you have zone transfers off. Go to ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind and grab 8.2.2-P7 (latest stable). It's dirt easy to compile and install, just follow the directions. Now when you actually get it installed we can help you figure out how to do your zone files. Oh, ypbind is the Yellow Pages, aka NIS. It's not related to BIND.
