This will mean that he's installing bind built from source, which will not get him the updates, QA, patches etc of the bind that ship with the distro. It also means that the system has no record of the source install, and that he will have to update by hand and follow the site on his own for updates etc. Sticking with the bind from centos is the best bet. The bind-chroot does create a chroot'd bind environment, and works just fine. The packages are QA'd and updates are available with minimal effort. Building from source that which is already provided by the distribution is a BAD IDEA. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775
