Assuming BIND V4....

Or, if you link /etc/namedb/named.boot to /etc/named.boot

	ln -s /etc/namedb/named.boot /etc/named.boot

you don't need any flags, and /usr/sbin/named.reload will work, too.

It also helps reduce any "POLA violation" sense that those of us who also
administer non-FreeBSD systems might have.

All for no extra charge (beyond the initial manual creation of the link).
