In the new version of CentOS 6 when you install bind it creates extra directories and I am a bit confused over which ones to create a symlink to the following:
/etc/named.conf
the the file resides in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
From CentOS 5.7
64 bit
[mjedy@ns1 ~]$ ls -l /etc/named.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jul 8 2010 /etc/named.conf -> /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
In CentOS 6 with bind 64 bit
where do you create the symlink to what directory?
Will my existing named configuration work in the new release?
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Re: Installing bind in CentOS 6 64 bit
Did you install the bind-chroot package?
Installing bind in CentOS 6 64 bit
Correct, I installed the bind-chroot package as well.
The current CentOS 5 64 bit servers are setup this way as well.
all of the zone files are in /var/named/chroot/var/named
the named.conf is in /var/named/chroot/etc (then I created the symlink in /etc/named.conf
in the CentOS 5 name servers
I was going to do the same setup in CentOS6 as well, however there is extra directories not present in 5.
I am a bit confused over where to symlink the named.conf file and if any mods were needed to make it work.
I read where the release 5 bind configuration would not work in 6?
any advice/help would be great or if someone migrated and what needed to be changed in bind for it to work correctly

Re: Installing bind in CentOS 6 64 bit
Just following up, have you installed bind in CentOS 6.2 ?
or has anyone migrated to 6 yet with their bind config from 5
