Mike, I haven't tried to install a recent version of Bind on a Qube2, but
you can always remove the files you installed and re-install bind from the
Cobalt RPMs.  I believe you said you installed Bind from source so you may
want to go into the source directory and do:

make -n install

to see what was installed and where.

Then backup /etc/named, /etc/named.conf, etc. to be safe and visit
ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/products/qube2/eng/RPMS/ and download the bind RPMs
for bind and install them using rpm -i.  If necessary use rpm -e to remove
bind first or force the install (see rpm --help).  If any of the RPMs
overwrite your DNS files then copy them back from the backups you made.
