All I did was create the tree

        /var/lib/named/dev
        /var/lib/named/etc/bind
        /var/lib/named/var/cache/bind
        /var/lib/named/var/run
        /var/lib/named/var/log

Chown the right places, create the devices (null and random) and
move my /etc/bind to /var/lib/named/etc/bind and /var/cache/bind
to /var/lib/named/var/cache/bind. Also the following links is in
place (to ease transition for me, as the admin :)

        /etc/bind -> /var/lib/named/etc/bind
        /var/cache/bind -> /var/lib/named/var/cache/bind

Other than that, piece of cake :)


A nice feature would be if the bind9 install script(s) ASKED if
you'd like to run bind in a chroot, and then do the necessary
modifikations for you...
