Hi,

You can specify the location of the config file with a command line
option. -c /etc/named.conf

Look at the named_flags="" option in the /etc/rc.conf file and add
the -c /etc/named.conf between the double quotes. Also make sure
that named=NO is set to named=YES if you want named to start each time
the system loads.
