I only removed it from bind99, it was never there in bind910.  I removed it
because it was a poor design idea to begin with, and it was making the port
harder to maintain.  Also, it was overwriting files in the base system,
which is a thing we do not want to do.

All you need to do is add:

named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"

to your rc.conf, like the message says when you install the port.

It was a bit like the /usr/bin/perl symlink, it was time for it to go.
