if you are chrooting named, you need
*********************
named_chrootdir=3D"/var/chroot/named"
*********************
in the rc.conf
i just put my named.conf in /var/chroot/named/etc=20

then in named.conf it says=20
*****************
options {
        directory "/etc/namedb";
};
*************************
(which is really /var/chroot/named/etc/namedb)
