The resolver code in libc is actually completely separate from the
current version of the bind server code installed -- in fact the current
libc resolver code is bind4 based, although I understand that this is
slated to be replaced at some poing in the not-too-distant future.  In
order to start up the pkgsrc version of bind8, just change `named
$named_flags' to `/usr/pkg/sbin/named $named_flags' in /etc/rc, and
you're off.  It should indeed be safe to remove the base system's named
utilities at that point, if you wish.
