Multiple instances of BIND at startup

Thanks Matthew for the response.

In all honesty, I want to stay away from jails as much as possible.

Once testing is complete, I'll have numerous DNS servers to roll this 
out to, and I want the least amount of complexity as possible.

A few years ago I switched our entire infrastructure from BIND to DJBDNS 
(with VegaDNS as a web front-end), and now I'm looking to go back.

Again, I'd rather do this without jails if possible, and at the same 
time, be able to use the built in FBSD startup scripts if possible. If 
not, heres another question:

If I need to create my own custom script to do this sort of thing, where 
should it be loaded from? Some of my firewall rulesets rely on DNS to be 
up prior to them.
