The default from configure isn't going to install 9.2.1 in the same locations as FreeBSD installed 8.2.4. I belive that if you build Bind 9 from the ports collection it'll install over the Bind 8 installation.<br />
<br />
As I recall configure will target Bind 9 for /usr/local. You can run it from there manually or modify /etc/rc.conf to run your copy. &nbsp;

Thanks again. &nbsp;The which named is a great help. &nbsp;Find showed that named 8 was in /usr/sbin while named 9.1.3 was installed by default in /usr/sbin. &nbsp;I did two other things...one was in rc.conf I added...<br />
<br />
named_program=&quot;/usr/local/<wbr />sbin/named<wbr />&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
and in /usr/sbin I renamed named to named8. &nbsp;Any thought on a good way to clean out BIND 8? &nbsp;<br />

I copied the .gz file to /home/mydir and unzipped and untarred it. &nbsp;Then ran ./configure make. &nbsp;But after killing the named process and restarting - in fact after restarting the entire system - I am still showing I am running bind 8.2.4. &nbsp;Please point me to a resource for upgrading from the BIND 8.2.4 that comes standard with the Free BSD installation and getting it to 9.2.1. &nbsp;

Upgrading BIND 8 -&gt; BIND 9 on Free BSD

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
