 Been watching the bind thing for a few days and waiting for my daily yum to
update.
Finally did it by hand and got an interesting message.

The python dependency killed my yum...lol. A quick look online and I see a
few thousand fedora and redhat issues with this python thing. Strange that
it is trying to install a package update only to find that package is not
there..... Yeesh

But was able to run yum update bind and get the issues resolved.
