I'm running named on my ipnat gateway for a couple hosts, all running
netbsd-1-4, so I'll give it a shot.

It builds and installs (after "mkdir -p /usr/share/examples/named"),
and everything seems to work, except "ndc" apparently can't fetch the
path to the working named.conf anymore...

  root-> /usr/sbin/named /etc/namedb/named.conf
  root-> ps | grep named
  1352  1136  8405     1     0 ??       /usr/sbin/named /etc/namedb/named.conf 
   496   200  8408  6124     0 ttyp2    grep named 
  root-> named.restart
  can't open '/etc/named.conf' 
  ndc: error: could not start new name server (/usr/sbin/named)
  root-> ps | grep named
   212    92  8416  6124     0 ttyp2    grep named 

"named.restart" works fine in netbsd-1-4.
