I'm used to getting the BIND distribution from ISC directly, but since it's nicely packaged by FreeBSD I've been using that instead recently. I have to move everything to /var/named and point named over to it in the sysconfig file. Actually, I didn't check if I really need to do this, is /etc/namedb/named.boot compiled into the FreeBSD named? Nevermind, it's probably /etc/named.boot. I didn't notice the ndc utilities that come with BIND. I started using these a year ago and I miss these. e.g. ndc reload, ndc stop, ndc start, ndc status, etc. Regards, Mike Hancock
