You should get an OPTIONS dialogue here which will allow you to achieve
the required result. Use 'make config' to force the issue if necessary.=

Yes, that will work just fine.

It will not trash /etc/namedb/named.conf -- actually, I think it won't
touch anything under /etc/namedb so it should 'just work' with your
existing configuration. Remember to remove any 'port 53' clauses from
'query source' statements in named.conf or this will all have been for=20
nothing.
If you're going to do the 'REPLACE_BASE' thing, then you should add
=20
WITHOUT_BIND=3Dyes
to /etc/make.conf (/etc/src.conf in 7.x and above) -- otherwise you'll
revert to the system version of BIND whenever you update. There are
half a dozen BIND related make flags that you can pick and choose from if=
you want finer control.
Alternatively, you can leave the base system as-is, install the port
under /usr/local as usual, and just use variables like the following in=20
/etc/rc.conf:
named_enable=3D"YES"
named_program=3D"/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags=3D"-c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
This means you'll run named-2.5.0.2 from the port (which is the important=
=20
bit) but unless you fiddle with your $PATH, you'll tend to get all the=20
adjunct programs like dig, host, rndc from the base system.
Either way, it should all be pretty seamless. Which way you choose is a =
matter of taste and convenience rather than necessity.
Cheers,
Matthew
