Update to 10 from svn, /etc/rc.d is old

I've tried to update system, from 9.3 to 10-stable using source svn. make buildworld and make installworld were O.K. (with building/ installing kernel in-between, of-course).
But then I started to witness bugs, for example, named (build and installed dns/bind99 from ports) didn't start. Then I've discovered that /etc/rc.d is still old! What is the right way to update these files (and in /usr/local/etc/rc.d?) I thought that make installworld with mergemaster -p would do all needed, but where else to find old files???
 
Oh, I suppose to have found my mistake. I've made mergemaster -p instead of mergemaster -iF the second time.
Trying to correct this.
 
As an alternative of use dns/bind99, try unbound(8) from base.

Add this line to /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
local_unbound_enable="YES"

If you need services more like you may have been accustomed to with BIND you may wish to take a look at the unbound in the ports tree:
dns/unbound

I recommend to use Unbound from ports or packages because they are updated more frequently over what's it base.

Yes, thank you. Now everything seems to be O.K. I try to use BIND to service my local NAT'ed network, not to cache only on one machine. Can dns/unbound do this?

In FreeBSD 10, the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) has been removed from the base system and replaced with Unbound. Unbound is a validating caching resolver only. Note that if you need more that a simple resolver, you should still using BIND.

See the comparison of DNS server software to get a quick overview.
