Bind8 on FreeBSD3.2

I have done this. But in a slightly different fassion.

Linking files and directories can be messy and is effectivly "hacking" the
problem. You should recompile a new version.

try this;

1. Download the latest stable bind 8.2.X from http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/

2. unzip the file with tar -xzvf bind-src*

3. in the ports directory there is a freebsd section. 

4. in Makefile.set you can define all the compilation variables such as bin
location. Descriptions are in the INSTALL file under the src directory.

5. I sent mine to check the /etc directory for the named.conf file,
/usr/local/sbin for named bins.     /usr/libexec for named-xfer.

It works well. A also updated the man files by downloading the docs and running
make install from the /doc/man directory


Also check out the procmon utility on

this is good for ensuring that DNS will always be working. As this flavour of
unix does not use an inittab file.
