dear Stephen, you are starting bind with the chroot option (-t /usr/ local/bind). Even if I have never used that option, I am pretty sure that means that any absolute path you give in the configuration file will be relative to that chroot (/usr/local/bind). So, what in the configuration file is defined as / will be /usr/local/ bind in your filesystem, and what is /etc will be /usr/local/bind/etc. Giuliano
