How to reinstall bind9?

[Stephen Allen]

Well, I'm almost fixed.  It took me a while to realise that mergemaster 
didn't recreate the symlink to /var/named/etc/namedb, but I did this and 
I have some limited success.  I can run /usr/local/sbin/namedb, but 
/etc/rc.d/named doesn't start (stops, but doesn't do anything when I try 
to start).  I looked at the rc script and it looks for everything in 
/etc/namedb.  I used the port to install bind9 and made sure *not* to 
choose the replace base option, so presumed it would create the 
neccesary rc script for me, but that's apparently not the case.

So, I'm almost there... is there anything else I should do?

Many thanks so far,
Steve :)
