If this is going to be a permanent DNS server, I would set "NO_BIND=true" in your /etc/make.conf. This will prevent the building and installation of BIND 8 when you build/installworld. Just specify the path to named in your /etc/rc.conf to point to the version of named you wish to run. So, set named_program in /etc/rc.conf to /usr/local/sbin/named. Trevor Cornpropst
