Greetings,
I'm looking at the DNS server port dns/nsd. As I examine the Makefile, I'm wondering about one of the options -- actually more, but this one first.
While its description above is somewhat misleading; it translates to:
If one has added, and configured the root keys before deploying (running) nsd, is there any reason not to enable this option, when building nsd? Or have I completely misunderstood its intent?
Other question:
There is also an option (not available via FreeBSD ports) for building nsd in a chroot(8):
Is there any good reason not to make use of this, and virtually duplicate the already available BIND (named(8)) setup available in base?
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
