Sort of responding to my own post...  Given the above, I found the 
following output from yum today to be quite amusing:

Added 63 new packages, deleted 51 old in 28.11 seconds

[root at spindle ~]# rpm -q bind
bind-9.3.2-33.fc5
[root at spindle ~]# rpm -q bind-config
package bind-config is not installed

Looks like some part of FC5 still thinks bind-config is needed.  I have 
a funny feeling I'll have to figure out why or yum updates will fail on 
bind-config dependencies until I do.

Cheers,
Dave
