As I am also in the middle of setting up BIND9 on one of my machines, this
is an important point for me, as well.
Isn't it sufficient to simply specify the path to the new named binary by
setting the 'named_program' field in /etc/rc.conf? (E.g.,
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named") If not, I've learned something new,
yet again.
