Ick, linuxconf. In my opinion this is an inherently bad
tool that promotes lack of knowledge of sysadmins. In
any case, BIND does not "require" any specific runlevel
to operate. You should start it in whatever runlevels
your box runs in that you would need to query DNS,
or resolve DNS queries. In the case of Linux, 3 4 and 5
should be fine (even though runlevel 4 is "unused")
