BIND 9 is not only in the ports tree, it's the default bundled with
FreeBSD 5.x:
% dig @localhost version.bind CHAOS TXT
[...]
;; ANSWER SECTION:
version.bind. 0 CH TXT "9.3.0"
But, more to the point, running the stock BIND in a chroot jail is
completely automatic nowadays. All you need do is put
'named_enable=3D"YES"' into /etc/rc.conf.
Performs well enough to serve typical home uses no problem. Bind
9.3.1 is on the horizon, and I hear that the plan is to build that
threaded by default, which will improve responsiveness for more
demanding environments.
Cheers,
Matthew
