First system-config-network is not part of CentOS/RHEL 6, now I don't see system-config-bind either. Is there an alternative (GUI) way to manage the bind DNS server? Emmett

Editing the name server configuration manually via the named.conf file is recommended in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6." -- William Hooper

You might then be able to rebuild the Fedora system-config-bind for yourself. But you'll be responsible for all updates, etc, etc. IOW, Caveat Redivivor (pardon my pidgin Latin....).
