Does anyone know if there is an easy way to fix bind (bind-chroot) running in an old machine running FC7 so that it offers the same protection as
bind-chroot-9.5.0-28.P1.fc8
and
bind-9.5.0-33.P1.fc9.i386
??

Can one use the src rpm for F8 and re-configure it for FC7?

I guess there are still quite a lot of servers in use that are running
EOLed Fedoras.

While you could probably patch every hole yourself with source builds or rebuilding src rpms from newer fedora versions, you would be better off not using Fedora if you can't or don't want to keep up with the upgrade cycle, and fortunately there are distributions designed for that situation. RHEL5 would be very similar if you want a version with paid support or CentOS5 if you don't. Either will have several more years of continuing update support. They aren't even such a bad choice for desktop use now that the updates have brought OpenOffice and Firefox up to near-current releases (an unusual move - most updates are just backported bug/security fixes).
