I agree that the zone files should not be kept in the root partition.  The
ISC documentation and BoG seem to suggest /var/named as the default
location, but /var/db/named also seems perfectly reasonable to me.

The issue about chroot()ing BIND seems to be a distraction, since it's
common or at least _reasonable_ to create a chroot()ed filesystem under
/home/bind (or whereever $HOME and whatever $USER are) which resembles the
layout of an un-chroot()ed named under /.
