            Bug ID: 217915
           Summary: dns/bind911: remove special handling for example.com
                    etc.

The default named.conf has special handling for a number of example domains
(see
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/master/dns/bind911/files/named.conf.in#L236-L242
). This special handling effectively causes such names to resolve to 127.0.0.1
(e.g. example.com) or do not resolve at all (e.g. www.example.com).

Reading chapter 6 of https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6761.txt it seems to me
that there should be *no* special handling for such names. Note that RFC 6761
updates RFC 2606, which seems to be BCP 32 wrapped up in a RFC.

So probably these lines in named.conf.in should be removed.

Other bind ports (e.g. bind99) also have the same default configuration, and
probably should also be changed.
