	True.  :-)

	1) Make a copy of the bind 9 configuration directory.
	2) Uninstall the bind 8 port.
	3) Rebuild "world" per Handbook chapter 20.4.  This will
reinstall bind 9.

	Assuming the file esists, this smells like a permissions issue.
	May we see a directory liting for the file, like this:

-rwx------  1 root  wheel  3346 Sep 19 01:19 named.conf

	As for apache, may we see a directory listing for everything in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d?
