I suspected such is the case but did not take enough time to figure it out 
when I did a fresh test install when 10.0-Release came out. I was in a time 
crunch and just slapped bind99 on from ports, put all my old configs back 
and moved on.  

Thanks for showing how it's done, it's certainly beneficial. I've filed it 
away for future reference. I'm only in a preliminary stage of thinking about 
replacing bind99 with unbound. Need to learn more. Thanks!
