I'd like to drift further from the topic :)
On my NetBSD-current system, there seems to be some a problem with bind 
and the userland apps
that I've seen for months. Userland apps apparently send themselves a 
sigterm.

$ host localhost
localhost has address 127.0.0.1
localhost has IPv6 address ::1
Terminated

Program received signal SIGTERM, Terminated.

This is only a minor nuisance, the bigger problem is that
# /etc/rc.d/named reload
causes named to exit, rather than reloading it's configuration.
Other than that it works fine. Anyone else see this?
