I only received three responses, no real consensud here, so I ended up
compiling named to look for its conf file in /etc and saved off the old
binaries and replaced them in /usr/sbin.

mv /usr/sbin/in.named /usr/sbin/in.named.orig.812
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/named /usr/sbin/in.named
Same for your other links. I would link /etc/named.conf to
/usr/local/etc/named.conf so that scripts break.

Stuff you install yourself goes into /usr/local. Stuff that comes
with the system goes in / and /usr. Some optional stuff goes in /opt.
You can remove the original BIND via "pkgrm" (use "pkginfo" to find
the package name). But you should leave the new one, in /usr/local/*,
alone.

i wouldn't leave the old stuff laying around. that is just asking for
trouble. I have my named.conf in /etc and all the rest of the files in
/var/named (sometimes /usr/named but usually the former)
