The "bind97" packages is in RHEL 5.6. RedHat pubishes such major
component upgrades as separate packages, so people using the older
version get updates, but who want the major upgrades are free to
install them and get separate support.
Our faithful CentOS maintainers have not yet completed their
publication of CentOS 5.6. I'm sure they'd appreciate your help doing
so, although I've had some difficulty reverse engineering enough of
their build structure to parallel their work.
