FreeBSD 10.0-R-p7 bind9.9 starting named on boot?

[Burton Sampley]

Greetings,

After a very long absence, I have returned to FBSD for a project at home.  I started learning FBSD with 2.1.5R and moved on to other OS's around the 4.x-R days.

I have installed 10.0-R and updated to p-7.  I have installed Bind9.9 from ports and have configured a local domain (chicken.fish), which is doing exactly what I want/need it to do ... until I reboot.  It will not start automagically on reboot.  I have added and confirmed 'named_enable="YES" ' in /etc/rc.conf, but named is not running after a reboot.  I checked dmesg and /var/log/messages, but did not see any error messages for named. I can manually start named with "/usr/sbin/service named start" and it will run without issue, until I reboot.

I've followed the instructions in the handbook in sections 12.4 "Managing Services in FreeBSD" and 28.7 "Domain Name System (DNS)", which is clear-as-mud for FBSD-10 and Bind99 (not using unbound).  I also followed the instructions in section 28.8 "Apache HTTP Server", which successfully starts automagically on reboot.  I have also search the mail archives and have yet to find the magic combination of search terms.

At this point, I have exhausted all the resources I can think of, so it's time to try questions at freebsd.org.  I am officially stumped.  What am I missing???

Here's some of the things I've looked at:
