Running dns/bind910 within a chroot after r382109
dns/bind910 gained native chroot support in r382109. Those of us who used to store the BIND files in /var/named/etc/namedb and ran BIND with /var/named as the chroot environment, must do five things: Rename the /var/named directory to something else, like /var/Named.

Its configuration out of the box, particularly its treatment of the /etc/resolvconf.conf, assumes the local_unbound resolver is the sole resolver to be used. The reason for this blog entry is that I appreciate being able […]
