Upgrade dns BIND to a current version

Upgrade BIND level to a level which will allow us to pass audits. Simply patching ancient versions of BIND to address various CVE's does not help us to pass audits.
See https://www.isc.org/downloads/
the BIND level on 7.1 and above is way back at 9.10.1. This is not listed as a current level. Versions newer than 9.10.1 have reached EOL


Use Case:

Passing audits
