For sl4 the bind versions seem to all be -9.2.4- so it isn't clear if that 
bind-9.2.5-3 is a typing error (the release number looks awfully low too), 
or if he has installed a version of bind from some 3rd party place.

Coincidentally (I hope) bind-9.2.5-3 was the last bind rpm released for 
Fedora-Core 3 (back in 2005)...
