Previous nsupdate was located at "/usr/sbin/nsupdate", i'll suggest the b=
ind-9
is installed in the same place.

At the same time i would like to suggest moving named.conf to a more
conventional location : /etc/named.conf and in the same spirit start=20
shipping /var/named as the "home-location" for zonefiles.
