I would disagree, didn’t Steve say the latest he updated to was 9.8.2?
https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00913/0/BIND-9-Security-Vulnerability-Matrix.html
ISC shows 9.8.8 EOL as of September 2014, so 9.8.2 is quite a few
versions old. With all the DNS amplification attacks and these zero
day exploits coming out all the time, I’d want to be pretty current,
plus I believe 9.10 gives you RRL in your toolbox to deal with attacks
although I’ll admit I haven’t had time to experiment with it.

The server based distributions like CentOS\RHEL and Debian generally
are close to current regarding security updates even if they don't
have the latest version.

You need a named.conf that defines the slave zones and the IP address
of the master.
But first step is to download/compile/install the latest version of
BIND, it’s actually quite easy. I doubt you can get the version you
want via yum update because CentOS is based on RHEL which is always a
few steps behind. Given the DNS attacks, you want the latest BIND.
You might then want to lock out the package from being updated by yum.

So Im at a new Centos with webmin fresh bind install.
We have one master, one slave server
I have never set up bind, this was done before me.
If I were to take down the old slave server and bring this one up on
its IP will the master update this one, or is there a config I need to
move over. Im more comfotable doing the slave first.
These are all webmin, but the original is ubuntu and the new is centos

I always install CentOS bare bones …. “minimal server” is what the

like after installation and not worry about removing many dozen
packages you don’t need…
Just my preference anyways….

2 questions in this
1. when running through the current centos installation, what do i
select for the server type, for powercode it says select basic server
2. is there a guide for building dedicated centos servers based on
server purpose? I assume there are packages I dont need to install
if its only got this purpose

CentOS+BIND+Webmin JI can’t remember but Usermin might be the
part you’re looking for specific to users updating their own

Is there a good, simple package for locally hosted DNS Servers
for people like me who dont want to get too far into managing
the linux at a granular level? we are used to the webmin
interface. It would be nice if it had the option to set up
client accounts for some clients to manage their own DNS but
not view others, but thats in no way a deal breaker
