Hmpf.  Nope.  There's no universal ``right directory'' for this.  If
your machine is a primary server, you want it in /etc, since it's a
configuration file.  (/var is usually not included in dump cycles, but
you sure _want_ the original tables to be dumped.)  If your machine is
a secondary server, you want it in /var.

If your machine is both, and you cannot live with pulling the
secondary backups into /etc, you will have to use different
`directory' directives in named.boot.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
