I am making a "double transition" here -- from Bind 8 running on Tru64 Unix to 
Bind 9 running on OSX via MacPorts.

I started bind9 (which one assumes means named) according to the install script 
directions:

>sudo port load bind9

Now i'm trying to make sense of what I'm seeing... or doing wrong.

> ps auxw | grep named
root      4419   0.0  0.6   623964  11588   ??  S     5:10PM   0:00.36 
/opt/local/sbin/named -f
root      4417   0.0  0.0   611772    720   ??  Ss    5:10PM   0:00.39 
/opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=bind9 --start-cmd /opt/local/sbin/named -f ; 
--restart-netchange --pid=exec
magill   60699   0.0  0.0   590736    308 s000  R+    3:21PM   0:00.00 grep 
named

The implication here is that named is running in the foreground (-f), not as a 
daemon.

But:
> launchctl list

-       0       com.apple.cvmsCompAgent_i386
-       0       com.apple.launchctl.Background

I note that laucnchclt also does not show my MacPorts -- Apache/MySql/PhP 
installation, which is running as expected.

Question 1: It's not that (i don't think) named is not running, but I don't 
understand what I'm seeing.
       a) why the -f
       b) why nothing in launchctl

Historically, to update the zonefiles, etc. I would simply "HUP" named. 
However, it appears that
the "correct way" to do this under the MacPorts installation is the inverse of 
the start...

> sudo port unload bind9
> sudo port load bind9

Question 2: is that correct?

Other than those two questions, as far as I know everything is happy.
        The named.conf file and zonefiles all pass the respective 
named-check<...> tools.
I think named is responding correctly (I"m also transferring the domain 
delegation at the same time to DynDNS.com)
I get seemingly appropriate dig responses.
