It's not as thorough as I think it should be. I plan to get cracking on this now that I've got my ports more or less whipped into shape pre-freeze. > Perhaps a NO_NSLOOKUP flag? ;-) Yeah, I'll add that along with the PIGS_WILL_FLY flag. > I just spotted those flags a few days ago.

One way you can do this fairly easily with PORT_REPLACES_BASE is to have your chroot tree look something like this: /var/named/<other stuff you need> /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf (etc) Then have /etc/namedb be a symlink to /var/named/etc/namedb, with 'directory "/etc/namedb";' in your named.conf file. That way, both named and ndc "see" the same picture of the system, in and out of the chroot tree. I already use this at work, and I plan to add a lot of this config to the base itself here pretty soon. But you can easily get a head start on it now using what I described above.
