The default mararc is broken. It forced 127.0.0.3 (which I don't have).

Also broken in my install is that maradns installed
/etc/maradns/db.example.com and /etc/mararc. It should never install there
(by default).

It did install to /usr/pkg/etc/mararc which it uses.

We should have a working mararc that works as a local caching server by
default.

As for this PR, the man page says:

       MaraDNS does not use syslog or any other logging facility
       to log messages that MaraDNS generates.  Instead, the
       messages are logged to standard output. One can use a
       shell's output redirection to log messages to a file, e.g:

           touch /var/log/maradns
           nohup maradns >> /var/log/maradns &

So maybe we should start similarly.
