Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In summary: The version of BIND in FreeBSD is outta date (8.1.2), and a security risk. The one in the ports collection is up to date (8.2.2p5), but is set to install into /usr/local. So... install the port, kill the currently running named, start the new one (being sure to point it to the right config files), disable named in your boot scripts, and throw a shell script (named.sh) into /usr/local/etc/rc.d that will start named at boot time.
