CentOS - Oct 2007 - upgrade bind to version 9.3.4-P1 in centos 5.0 box

hi,

i want to setup DNS server on centos 5.0, and find the preinstalled
version is
bind.x86_64 30:9.3.3-7.el5 , and bind.x86_64 30:9.3.3-9.0.1.el5 in the
updates repository.

but i need to upgrade bind to version 9.3.4-P1 to prevent from any known
security bugs

is there any way i can do ?

thanks,
Bell

No, and this is not the case. The bind version provided with centos
(all versions) has security fixes backported into them. Do not rely on
the version numbers as a means of assuming security fixes. See
http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html for details.
