Is something (e.g. policy) forcing you to set this repository up
manually? IMHO it would have been simpler with the "copr" yum plugin.
CentOS 7 allows installing it via "yum install yum-plugin-copr", though
RHEL 7 seems to not have heard of a "yum-plugin-copr" package, so you
have to prod it a bit (similarly for EPEL, which you are going to need
for libnghttp2 if you plan to use the stable "bind" repository, which
currently contains BIND 9.18):
# yum install
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/yum-plugin-copr-1.1.31-54.el7_8.noarch.rpm
# yum install
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
# yum copr enable isc/bind
# yum install isc-bind
(I just tested these commands on a fresh RHEL 7 Docker image.)

And does:
curl -v -k
https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/isc/bind/epel-7-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
output an XML file? What IP is it trying to connect to? Are you able
to verify that yum tries to reach the same IP when you try to install
packages?

It is certainly within the realm of possibility. Copr is backed by a
CDN, so I can imagine a situation in which the specific host you are
connecting to from your vantage point is dysfunctional in some way while
others are working just fine.
