The version integrated with OpenBSD is probably better, particularly

Definitely. And I do prefer to have some fs access restriction, instead of none, even if that means using chroot.

If you can't get around the chroot problem with symbolic
links, or chrooting into /export, I believe it's pretty easy to compile
BIND from the distributor's sources on OpenBSD.

Well I've tried using a symlink to no avail. Specifically I tried "ln -s /export/config/named /var/named/config" and then using "/config" in named.conf. I've done some searches for docs on chroot and symlinks. The only interesting find is this package:

chrootuid-1.3.tgz - control chroot and su access rights by application

Are there docs on how a symlink in a chroot should work? I'd gladly RTFM :-)

As for chrooting to /export, it has two cons: a) I'd have to recreate the /var/named structure, and b) It's about as insecure as chrooting to "/".
