<bikeshed_alert> Has the crew importing BIND 9 considered whether this may be a chance to move FreeBSD's default home for zone files out of /etc/namedb? Leaving named.conf under /etc is perfectly fine, but I've always found something... unsavory about having slave and dynamic zone files living under /etc. That is, I, and I know some others as well, find the idea of having daemon processes writing files in /etc suboptimal. It also messes with that dream of a FreeBSD where / and /usr (if they are not on one partition anyway) can easily be mounted read-only without breaking stuff. Yes, of course, the purists can configure the BIND root to be anywhere, but defaulting to /etc still seems like a bad way to start off those who do not know any better. Perhaps this is an opportunity to move to a /var/named or something like that? </bikeshed_alert> -- Crist J.
