That's a personal admin choice and isn't really a location I'd advocate standardising on. I'd suggest /var something though, /var/db/dns is a reasonable suggestion. /etc is not the right place for zone files. Zone files are not really part of the system configuration and don't fit conceptually in /etc. From a practical perpsective, I have a fair number of zones and /etc is on a partition that invariably doesn't have enough space. Zone files are something that will take up an indeterminate amount of space and therefore /var is the appropriate filesystem for them, not the root partition, especially the slave files, since they're written at runtime and / is a partition that preferably shouldn't be written to. If we're going to make a serious attempt at setting up bind in a sandbox by default then the location of zone files should be standardised outside of /etc/namedb.
