You can try BIND 9.10.1b2 using COPR repo:
http://copr-fe.cloud.fedoraproject.org/coprs/thozza/bind-9.10.1b2/

I'll update the COPR in the mean time since there is already a RC1.

Dependent packages can be found here:
http://copr-fe.cloud.fedoraproject.org/coprs/thozza/bind-9.10.1b2-dependencies/

(only bind-dyndb-ldap is missing since it needs more changes. I'm working
with the maintainer on updating the package)
