Looks good, just some IMHO odd things I'd like to mention/discuss before we move on:

 * Quoting from the initial comment in this bug:

>I choosed the libbind version from RHEL 5 to have a long update support
>and maybe some help from Adam Tkac, if needed. As per his suggestion, it
>is better to put this in EPEL 4, as RHEL 4 only should get bug fixes and
>no enhancements.

Well, if this is for EPEL4 why didn't you use the bind from RHEL4 as base, as it
has "long update support" as well? I tend to say it will looks quite odd for
users to find bind-9.2.4 in RHEL4 but a libbind that's based on the
RHEL5-version bind-9.3.5 in EPEL4. Are they really independent/will libbind from
bind-9.3 work fine with bind-9.2? 

 * Minor: Might be wise to add a version number or something to this (but okay,
maybe none is used in the bind package from RHEL5, so feel free to ignore it) :
Source1:	libbind-man.tar.gz

 * Specifying glibc-devel should not be needed, as gcc likely depends on it:

BuildRequires:	glibc-devel >= 2.2.5-26, glibc-kernheaders >= 2.4-7.10

 * The "description" is IMHO confusing/hard to read and doesn't really express
what the package contains. 

 * This "(-,root,root)" IIRC should be "(-,root,root,-)"

 * rpmlint silent
