Also, if you're trying to run one of the bind ports, then you should
just use all the default configuration stuff in /etc/namedb (which is
really /var/named/etc/namedb) and the rc script /etc/rc.d/named with the
binaries installed by the port by putting the following in /etc/rc.conf:
named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
This is a bit unusual -- most ports install their own startup script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and their own config files under /usr/local/etc or
subdirs thereof.
One handy hint is to link /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf to
/etc/namedb/rndc.conf which helps the rc-script control the named
process better.
(Or .../rndc.key, depending on how you set things up.) Actually, I
believe the various bind ports do this automatically now, but it doesn't
hurt to double check.
Cheers,
Matthew
