You need libbind9, not libbind-9.  libbind9 refers to the bind version, 
where libbind-9 refers to the distributors version.  There should be a 
libbind9 RPM available to you.  You don't say what system you're 
running, but you should be able to get it from the repository.

A few years ago bind was enhanced to bind9, but a lot of sysadmins did 
not want the new version, so its been maintained as two forks since 
then.  Not sure why they have not merged already.  Its been a while.
