Hardlinks don't work for directories either.
I guess Turbo means that /etc/bind is a symlink to
/var/lib/named/etc/bind, not the other way round. I'd be mildly
concerned about how any chrooted bind package would arrange to migrate
to this kind of setup smoothly, though. People manage nameserver
configuration in all kinds of weird and wonderful local ways.
(Personally I think I'd use Linux 2.4's mount --bind rather than
symlinks.)
