Not true. All parameters unknown to ndc are passed on. Here's what I use for
starting my chrooted BIND:

---- snip -----
#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin
export PATH

exec ndc -c /var/spool/named/var/run/ndc ${1+"$@"} -t /var/spool/named/ -u named -g named
---- snip -----

The cool thing is, that way I can even use:

/sbin/init.d/named reload
/sbin/init.d/named reconfigure
etc.
