As I said, 9.11.4 is so very old, many changes have happened since then so
please don't get hung up on two files.

This explains how to obtain ISC official packages
https://kb.isc.org/docs/isc-packages-for-bind-9#open-source-packages
You should consider 9.20 because of this:

I hope that helps.

&gt; Hello Renzo.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; There have been so many changes since 9.11.4 I would suggest that you =
don&#39;t get hung up on a couple of files. If you are installing 9.18.49 a=
s a package, it will contain everything it needs.<br>
&gt; I would recommend that, if you are planning a jump from 9.11 anyway, t=

&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; in Alma Linux 9 I have decide to migrate to latest ISC-Bind (rpm p=
ackage) which is 9.18.49 version (Copr/Epel 9 repository)<br>
&gt;&gt; Previous bind 9.11.4 contains these &#39;include&#39; entries:<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; named.rfc1912.zones<br>
&gt;&gt; named.root.key<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; These files don&#39;t exist inside isc-bind rpm packages<br>
&gt;&gt; I think the former is about default zones (e.g. localhost) the lat=
ter is about dnssec keys.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I&#39;d like using standard files according to isc-bind documents.=
<br>
&gt;&gt; How should I proceed ?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
