So I made the plunge and source-upgraded to 10-stable last night, so far =
without any issues.

It took me a second to figure out how to keep named going, now that it =
has been removed from base, and since I couldn't find anything on the =
lists or in the handbook, here's a quick how to.

First, after make installworld, your 9-stable /usr/sbin/named is still =
there, so your current configuration will continue to work without =
issue. Only when you make delete-old will the old binaries be removed. =
In preparation for that:

Install a suitable bind port (i.e. dns/bind99), then adjust rc.conf to =
tell the /etc/rc.d/named start script to start the named from =
/usr/local:
named_program=3D"/usr/local/sbin/named"

And that's it. To be on the safe side, use =
/usr/local/sbin/named-checkconf to check your config files before making =
the switch.
