Run bind9 in a chroot. I basically used the configuration from this page: http://cryptio.net/~ferlatte/config/ with the exception of using mount --bind /var/lib/bind9/etc/bind /etc/bind instead of ln -s /var/lib/bind9/etc/bind /etc/bind -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
