Haven't done it on RHEL/CentOS 6.x yet but in RHEL5 with the bind-chroot

/var/named/chroot as the jail for BIND.
/var/named/chroot/etc = Location of global config files such as named.conf
/var/named/chroot/var/named = Location of the zone files.
These I am use to and have used them for years.
I don't see a /var/named/chroot/etc/named in RHEL5 but then again that is based
on BIND 9.3. RHEL6 is almost certainly based on a higher upstream version.
Since CentOS is built from RHEL source it would have that higher version as
well.
Yes. I am going from Centos (RHEL) 5.5 to 6.3, so the new directory just
has me wondering. I found it also as /etc/named/ so it is part of their
base bind rpm, but no documentation on what they expected to be place
there. Just here is something new and I want to know why so that I am
not supprised.

Subject: chroot/etc/named/ directory?
I am upgrading my server from bind-9.3.6 via Centos 5.5 to 9.8.2 in
Centos 6.3.
I have and will run bind chrooted and on my test setup I noticed a 'new'
subdirectory in the chroot tree:
/var/named/chroot/etc/named/
I cannot find any documentation as what is indended to be placed in
this subdirectory. my includes for named.conf?
I am assuming the pki subdirectory is for DNSSEC related files, but I
have not found any documentation indicating so. But then I have not
plowed through DNSSEC documention in depth yet.
If you installed bind*-chroot, it will populate the /var/named/chroot hierarchy. It's not strictly
required (though I would suggest it), but if you intend to run BIND chrooted
"/var/named/chroot" is essentially "/".
You'll have to place the usual things BIND needs to operate under that
directory -- configs, zones, etc. Assuming this came from the chroot RPM,
you'll already have other essential pieces for chroot such as your
null/random/zero devices. Since you mention CentOS, you'll likely also want to
pay attention to things like ROOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/named.
Having said all that, you might search the archives (SRPMS have been provided by
community members) or other sources for a newer BIND while you're at it...9.8.2 isn't
ancient, but also not technically "up to date"
now. I am personally waiting for 9.9.3 to leave beta, but 9.8.4-P1 probably
makes sense for you today. This won't affect your chroot setup, just something
worth considering since you're upgrading.
