There are lots of standard options that are not compatible with each
other.

Why not just set named_chrootdir to /usr/share/namedb ?  It's not 100%
clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. Can you please go into a
little more detail about your goals, rather than potential solutions?

Yes, that's something that needs improvement. I have it on the list
but since it's not common for people to alter the path to the conf
file, and since in the past in order to do so you've had to add -c to
named_flags anyway, I don't regard it as urgent.
