What are you wanting to do that you think "bind-config" provides, and
how does this relate to a static/dynamic IP for yourself?  What
precisely are you wanting to do?

I've been playing with FC5 today, and I don't have a bind-config...

[tim at gonzales ~]$ rpm -qa \*bind\*
ypbind-1.19-1
bind-libs-9.3.2-33.fc5
bind-9.3.2-33.fc5
bind-utils-9.3.2-33.fc5

... on my system.  I just hand-edited my /etc/named.conf file to include
some local zones I've put on my system.  Seems to be working fine as far
as I can tell.

I've used the GUI tool for configuring BIND, before (on FC4).  I found
it a diabolical monstrosity, and you needed to know how to
hand-configure DNS to know what to do with it, anyway.  So why bother
with the convoluted tool?
