Downgrading Bind

H-Sphere requires bind version 8.x. If you have bind version 9.x, you need to perform a downgrade. To go down to bind 8:

Back up your /etc/named.conf file.
Uninstall the bind9 RPMs.
install the latest bind8.
place /etc/named.conf back.
change owner of the /hsphere/local/var/named directory:
# /chown -R named:named /hsphere/local/var/named
restart your named daemon:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart (Linux)
