Bind works perfectly out of the box on most FBSD recent versions.

You should not move things out of the path they have been setup to.
Specially on FBSD /etc is reserved for system files.

By default bind is installed in /var/named and should be kept there.

If I was you I would :
1. install the latest bind version from the port //
2. make sure you don't touch things unless absolutely necessary.
3. copy paste of modify the /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf so that =20
It corresponds to your needs.
4. make sure the /etc/rc.conf has the correct "named" values.
5. start it with the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ script for named //

Been runing this one with 1000 zones as both masters and slave never =20
had any problem.

If you have more issue could give you a help on debuging bind.

My advice : STICK TO THE FBSD RULES AND PATH unless you perfectly know =20=

what you are doing.
