Replacing Bind8x with Bind9

[Joshua Lewis]

> Definetly consider chrooting or jailing BIND

Would you be able to point me at a doc that explains what jailing and or
chrooting a program does. Something that shows how and when it is used. I
have seen specific examples for individual programs. However I would like
to learn how and why it works and understand how to do it for all of my
programs. Especially what the difference is between jailing and chrooting


Thank you,
Joshua Lewis
