And your colleage has exposed any benefits of running the server in a
complete environment ??? Im running 3 name server, all under chroot
environments and theys are working great, why would you want to expose
your system to any bind9 security bug ???
During the chroot setup, i only found problems searching the strace
output to discover all the libs bind9 needed.
Cheers
