I just installed FreeBSD 6.0 on a computer I want to use to test BIND. The newest release is 9.3.2, but the one installed with FreeBSD 6.0 is 9.3.1. Since according to the ISC's website there are a few bugs in 9.3.1, I decided to upgrade. I then looked over the ports and found versions going up to 9.3.1. So I downloaded the neccessary files from ISC's ftp. But I started wondering, where would the most appropriate place to install BIND be? My current version is installed in /usr/sbin/named, but the default install goes to /usr/local/sbin/named. Should I let the install go to it's default location, rename /usr/sbin/named to /usr/sbin/named9.3.1 and then symlink /usr/local/sbin/named to /usr/sbin/named? Or, should I tell the proper install flag to install named in /usr/sbin, and overwrite the previous version?( after all, I am not going to use it ) I am planning to put BIND in a sandbox anyway......I ask this mainly to find out about common practices. Thanks
