How have you determined that? /etc is part of / which is full but just because he can't edit this dns files does not mean they are the culprit. Based on dns useage I've seen on my DNS he'd have to have 10K+ domains to make a significant impact - unless he's dumped a lot of files. I suspect it's something else. If he's running a default install perhaps something like his mail program has left a huge temporary mailbox in /tmp.

That's quite a bit of overkill. He just needs to pass the the options to named for the config file to use, copy the current named.conf to that location, and specify the working directory there. Leave the reinstall to systems that require it - eg MS thingys.
