have you opened a bug report for this ?
There was something similar mentioned by others 08/13 regarding a change released 08/11. I'm not sure why we weren't impacted until yesterday ~ 05:00.
You were affected yesterday ... Because ... it was an update for 4.4.
RH released 4.4 on 8/10
CentOS released the security updates included for 4.4 on 8/23 (bind was a bugfix update and not a security update ... it was not released on 8/23).
CentOS released the full 4.4 update set on 8/29, and since bind was a bugfix updates and not secuirty update, that is when it was released.
It is the CentOS goal to have the update set releases out 2 weeks after the update ... however due to a showstopper bug in 3.8 (the rescue CD would not work, and still does not work in the upstream product) we had to delay it's update and fix the problem. That delay caused a corresponding delay in releasing CentOS-4.4 since we can only release one major update set at a time due bandwidth considerations.
So, CentOS-4.4 was released 8/29 ... and that was 5 days past our 14 day goal.
THAT is why you saw the problem yesterday :)
So CentOS fixed a bug that upstream didn't even fix! You guys are great!! No wonder they don't mind the rebuilders. It seems to be a symbiotic relationship.
