259b67a528 Scot pointed out that the dynamic zone example didn't seem to "flow"
with the rest of the examples, so after discussion with him and gshapiro,
re-sort the examples, and add more comments to make things very obvious.

Also, divide the examples between example.{com|net|org} to make things
even more obvious, and use the same RFC 1918 block for all examples.

37a4b79385 Create a separate directory for dynamic zones which is owned by the bind
user (for creation of the zone journal file).  This is separate from the
master/ directory for security.  Give an example dynamic zone in the
sample named.conf.

83b3de9f56 1. Update the documentation references, and the warning about setting up
authoritative servers.

2. Add an IPv4 listen-on option for 127.0.0.1, which is appropriate
for the default use as a local resolver.

3. Add a commented out listen-on-v6 option.

81f7fbc732 Fix some of the more egregious problems with this file:
1. Update text about later BINDs using a pseudo-random, unpriviliged
query port for UDP by default.

2. We are now running in a sandbox by default, with a dedicated dump
directory, so remove the stale comment.

3. The topology configuration is not for the faint of heart, so
remove the commented example.

4. Tighten up some language a bit.

5. s/secondary/slave/

6. No need for the example about a bind-owned directory for slave zones.

7. Change domain.com to example.com in the example, per RFC 2606.

8. Update the path for slave zones in the example.
	- Thanks to Scot Hetzel <swhetzel@gmail.com>

There is more work to do here, but this is an improvement.

8f1bb3891d Create a named chroot directory structure in /var/named, and use it
by default when named is enabled. Also, improve our default directory
layout by creating /var/named/etc/namedb/{master|slave} directories,
and use the former for the generated localhost* files.

Rather than using pax to copy device entries, mount devfs in the
chroot directory.

There may be some corner cases where things need to be adjusted,
but overall this structure has been well tested on a production
network, and should serve the needs of the vast majority of users.

UPDATING has instructions on how to do the conversion for those
with existing configurations.

cc6fef08db Since we do not pre-create /etc/namedb/s, add additional documentation
to the comments in named.conf to describe to the user how to create it.
    (named.conf does not use /etc/namedb/s by default anyway so us not
    pre-created it in the mtree does not hurt us terribly).

128272b8c5 Reviewed by: freebsd-current, freebsd-security
Adjust rc.conf to run named in sandbox, adjust mtree to add /etc/namedb/s
    subdirectory (user bind, group bind) to hold secondaries, adjust
    comments in named.conf to reflect new secondary scheme.  (Note that
    core read-only zone files are left owned by root, increasing security even
    more).
