They're the same?  I had seen that one but didn't realize it was the  
same.

OK, I think I've got it working now.

Except that  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mDNSResponder.sh didn't exist

I copied /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder/files/mDNSResponder.sh there, but  
it clearly expects to be automatically configured by the installation  
program.

#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: mDNSResponder
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD

. %%RC_SUBR%%

name=mDNSResponder
rcvar=`set_rcvar`

command=%%PREFIX%%/sbin/mDNSResponder

mDNSResponder_enable=${mDNSResponder_enable:-"NO"}
mDNSResponder_flags=${mDNSResponder_flags:-"-b -n `/bin/hostname -s`"}

pidfile="/var/run/mDNSResponder.pid"

load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"

# end

There's no 'mDNSResponder' in any sbin folder, there is one in  
/usr/local/bin/mDNSResponder, so I tried changing that line to

command=/usr/local/bin/mDNSResponder

but then I get

set_rcvar: not found
load_rc_config: not found
run_rc_command: not found

I suspect that may have something to do with this line:

. %%RC_SUBR%%

and I have no idea what that should be.

So I Googled "RC_SUBR mDNSResponder" and came across  
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-September/ 
015760.html which suggested I use ". /usr/local/etc/rc.subr" which  
doesn't exist (maybe that's where it was for 4.x?) it is now at  
/etc/rc.subr so I used this:

. /etc/rc.subr

so now I can run

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mDNSResponder.sh start

without error

Does it work?

Well, we'll have to wait until I get to the office and check.
