The worst error message in history belongs to... BIND9!

Reminds me of a typical windows user i dealt with who saw an error about 
explorer.exe and how it could not "be read" and let it slide. :-P

using my wicked non user friendly skillz of the damned, i personally 
like the concept of a simple  "pebkac error" when bind refuses to start 
due to a named.conf setting or similar. sortof creates a challenge, an 
adventure to find what's causing the issue yourself.

wait. i shouldn't be promoting ideas on how make things worse off on 
freebsd-questions.

pardon this useless email.
