ok i also found this 5 step procedure follow the steps and let me know if it fixed your problem

If working with a fresh install, begin with step 1 below. All others probably can skip step 1.
Step 1: yum --exclude=bind* upgrade
Step 2: yum remove bind* caching-nameserver*
Step 3: yum clean all
Step 4: yum install caching-nameserver*
This not only installs the caching-nameserver, but it also installs bind-libs and bind as dependencies. This seems to resolve the conflict, and no fix is required. However, the bind-utils package is not installed.
Step 5: yum install bind-utils

hope this helps

Cheers. So far so good but as you probably know yum update takes a while
I`ll post again when it`s finished or broke.
Thanks

yeah yum update takes a while to do but keep us updated on the situation if something goes wrong i'll try and find another solution to your problem

hope everything goes well
