Good day! Installed FreeBSD 10.1 and found that BIND was not included.
I installed it from the ports collection, read the configuration mana: I need the /etc/namedb/named.conf file, but I did not find the namedb directory after installation. Question: how to be? Is it possible to create the missing directory and the desired file?
Just the absence of a file caused a stupor and misunderstanding - why is that?

Because in FreeBSD (9+ like) configs are stored in /usr/local/etc/*

The DNS server in FreeBSD 10 has been replaced with Unbound.
If you do not know BIND, and you need to study it, then I suggest to score on it and use Unbound.
And yes, now you have two demons that are listening on ports 53, keep this in mind.
