However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm unable to do so.

I think you have to specify version. In the example;

bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.1.P1.el5_2.i386.rpm
bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2.i386.rpm

I think you would specify yum install bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.0.1.P1

but a later update will upgrade it anyway.

If there software doesn't work with the newer version, it shouldn't be in
their repo, IMHO.
