At the current moment, ISC develops and provides patches for four
different version sequences of BIND 9:

  BIND 9.6-ESV
  BIND 9.7
  BIND 9.8
& BIND 9.9

They are intended to serve slightly different functions for different
users.

BIND 9.6-ESV is an "Extended Support Version" of BIND (as indicated
by the "-ESV" suffix.  Though 9.6 is no longer being actively developed,
ISC made a commitment to continue supporting the existing code with
security patches and bug fixes through March 2013.

BIND 9.7 is about to reach its "End of Life" (aka EOL.)  It was
originally predicted to reach its final version in August 2012,
after which it would receive no more updates (except possibly in
very unusual circumstances.)  Its EOL has been pushed back to
this month, but when BIND 9.7.7 comes out (before the end of this
month) that is expected to be the final release version of BIND 9.7.
Consequently you should not now be changing to the 9.7 line but if
you are on 9.7 you can upgrade to 9.7.6-P3 or 9.7.7 while you
make plans to migrate to 9.8 or 9.9.

BIND 9.8 will be the next version to become an Extended Support Version
and will be supported for several years hence.  BIND 9.8 is stable,
reasonably mature, and will be supported with some feature improvements
and all bug fixes.

And BIND 9.9 is the version which is currently receiving the most
development effort for new features and functionality.

Are you sure the "useradd" command in %pre is valid on RHEL4/5? 
Specifically the "-N" argument? We had to change that in our local .spec 
file when basing off the Fedora one.


(I always thought it was a shame that RPM didn't provide some 
higher-level wrappers for common operations in %pre and %post)

Whenever you upgrade to a new version of BIND (esp. when it is a new
major version, and if you jumping forward multiple version numbers), I
would recommend to read the change logs for the new version (you can
find the changelogs in the "CHANGES" file in the source directory on
ftp.isc.org).

Also it might be good to read over new sections in the BIND 9 Reference
Manual (BIND9ARM).

You can find binary installer packages of BIND for Solaris 10 on

(BIND 9.9.1-P3 will be available there later today).

depending on the installation location of the new BIND versions, you
need to adapt your startscript (Solaris 7/8/9) or the SMF manifest
(Solaris 10/11).

Best regards

Carsten

Introduction

   BIND 9.9.1-P3 is the latest production release of BIND 9.9.

   This document summarizes changes from BIND 9.9.0 to BIND 9.9.1-P3.
   Please see the CHANGES file in the source code release for a
   complete list of all changes.

Download

   The latest versions of BIND 9 software can always be found on
   our web site at http://www.isc.org/downloads/all. There you will
   find additional information about each release, source code, and
   pre-compiled versions for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Support

   Product support information is available on
   http://www.isc.org/services/support for paid support options.
   Free support is provided by our user community via a mailing
   list. Information on all public email lists is available at
   https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo.

Security Fixes

   Prevents a named assert (crash) when queried for a record whose
   RDATA exceeds 65535 bytes.  [RT #30416]

   Prevents a named assert (crash) when validating caused by using
   "Bad cache" data before it has been initialized.  [RT #30025]

   ISC_QUEUE handling for recursive clients was updated to address
   a race condition that could cause a memory leak.  This rarely
   occurred with UDP clients, but could be a significant problem
   for a server handling a steady rate of TCP queries.  [RT #29539
   & #30233]

   A condition has been corrected where improper handling of
   zero-length RDATA could cause undesirable behavior, including
   termination of the named process.  [RT #29644]

New Features

   None

Feature Changes

   BIND now recognizes the TLSA resource record type, created to
   support IETF DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities)
   [RT #28989]

   A note will be added to the README in future releases to explain
   that the improved scalability provided by using multiple threads
   to listen for and process queries (change 3137, RT #22992) does
   not provide any performance benefit when running BIND on versions
   of the linux kernel that do not include the 'lockless UDP transmit
   path' changes that were incorporated in 2.6.39.  (Some linux
   distributors may have provided this functionality under their
   own version numbering systems).

Bug Fixes

   Fixes the defect introduced by change #3314 that was causing
   failures when saving stub zones to disk (resulting in excessive
   CPU usage in some cases).  [RT #29952]

   The locking strategy around the handling of iterative queries
   has been tuned to reduce unnecessary contention in a multi-threaded
   environment.  (Note that this may not provide a measurable
   improvement over previous versions of BIND, but it corrects the
   performance impact of change 3309 / RT #27995) [RT #29239]

   Addresses a race condition that can cause named to to crash when
   the masters list for a zone is updated via rndc reload/reconfig
   [RT #26732]

   named-checkconf now correctly validates dns64 clients acl
   definitions. [RT #27631]

   Fixes a race condition in zone.c that can cause named to crash
   during the processing of rndc delzone [RT #29028]

   Prevents a named segfault from resolver.c due to procedure
   fctx_finddone() not being thread-safe.  [RT #27995]

   Improves DNS64 reverse zone performance. [RT #28563]

   Adds wire format lookup method to sdb. [RT #28563]

   Uses hmctx, not mctx when freeing rbtdb->heaps to avoid triggering
   an assertion when flushing cache data. [RT #28571]

   Prevents intermittent named crashes following an rndc reload [RT #28606]

   Resolves inconsistencies in locating DNSSEC keys where zone names
   contain characters that require special mappings [RT #28600]

   A new flag -R  has been added to queryperf for running tests
   using non-recursive queries.  It also now builds correctly on
   MacOS version 10.7 (darwin)  [RT #28565]

   Named no longer crashes if gssapi is enabled in named.conf but
   was not compiled into the binary [RT #28338]

   SDB now handles unexpected errors from back-end database drivers
   gracefully instead of exiting on an assert. [RT #28534]

   Prevents named crashes as a result of dereferencing a NULL pointer
   in zmgr_start_xfrin_ifquota if the zone was being removed while
   there were zone transfers still pending [RT #28419]

   Corrects a parser bug that could cause named to crash while
   reading a malformed zone file. [RT #28467]

   Ensures that when a client recurses its status fields are
   consistently set so that named doesn't fail on an INSIST in
   client.c:e
