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.
