	Any arguments after restart (or start) are passed to named.

	e.g. ndc restart -u named -g named -t /var/jail/named

	And if you have linked against a broken getopt() you need
	to explictly stop option processing.

	e.g. ndc -- restart -u named -g named -t /var/jail/named

	Some of named's arguement are not reversable, so in general,
	it is impossible to get named to re-exec itself.
