In FreeBSD 5.3, named per default runs in a chroot environment in 
/var/named and thus seeing /etc/namedb as usual.
Manual is still right from view of named. But the system administrator 
will have to edit /var/named/etc/namedb/

chrooting and chroot directory can be modified by named_chrootdir in 
rc.conf.
