Does the Original Poster have that installed? Does he have caching-nameserver, NetworkManager, or anything else that depends on it? If bind isn't installed, I'd recommend doing a yum install bind If the Original Poster didn't have bind installed, and hadn't tried installing any RPM's with --force, and hasn't mucked about manually, *and* has all the latest updates installed, this probably ought to go into bugzilla.
