Since the config files are basically the same save for the $TTL that is required for every zone file, you can just do like this, as root of course! cd /etc cp -Rp namedb namedb.BAK #Keep a backup of your configs pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/bind-8.2.5 Hoping that you have CVSupped and has current ports; BTW Bind9 is what is now in the ports but doesn't matter. Use what your ports tree has. cd /usr/ports/net/bind8 make install distclean But if you install your bind elsewhere than the default, you may want to look at Makefile in that directory.
