chroot Bind 9.2

[Kevin Darcy]

Offhand, I don't see anything wrong. You didn't say what OS this was, so
I can't really verify that "etc", "dev" are reasonable.

Perhaps you should run named-checkconf to verify that there isn't some
sort of syntax error in the chroot'ed named.conf that might be causing
named to exit. You should also double-check your logging setup, since
there should have been some log messages indicating the problem. If named
is not exiting gracefully, presumably it's crashing and leaving a core
file somewhere, so you might want to look for one of those.
