Greetings and long time not been around.

I am looking at getting a current Centos-arm DNS server going and
managed with Webmin instead of doing it myself (currently running my DNS
on Cubieboard2 and Centos7 all zones hand-crafted).

So I was looking at getting Centos8-arm and noticed that EoL is
6/30/2024! What?

I have a lot of questions in order to try and answer anything here. When you are speaking about arm, do you mean arm32 or aarch64? Also where did you see the EoL notice? CentOS Stream 8 does end in June 30, 2024 but I don't know where anything mentions CentOS Linux arm for that date.

I should have said, arm32.

So arm32 is a special case being run by a volunteer. The download page you pointed to only covers EL7. EL8 support for ARM32 may be gone and would be hard to continue due to the fact that it is done on EOL hardware. [ It is either done on some donated older hardware or done as virtual machines on Ampere systems which allowed for that. Newer models do not have any ARM32 support in them]. Due to the lack of hardware support and the fact that a lot of software is having a harder time compiling due to the standard 4GB limit, I am expecting that Debian and Yocto will be the only large distributions for ARM32 with 4 years or so.
