I'm not  sure about  the primary  zones -- those  served by  this named,
which are -- arguably -- parts  of the configuration, but the caching of
the secondary  ones should definetly move  to under /var. I  think, some
Linuxes have them under /var as  well. Them being databases, they should
be under /var/db, IMHO.

This is independent of which user is  running named. It can still be run
as root, but cache secondary zones in /var/db/named :)
