The "db" in /etc/namedb stands for "database", does it not? Does it make=20
sense to put a configuration file in a "database" directory? Conventions=20
that make no sense should be discarded.

Personally, I've never encountered an OS that expects to find the=20
"named" configuration file in the /etc/namedb directory. But then, I=20
come from more of a SysV background than BSD...
