    7 1. DON'T RUN BIND AS UID ROOT OR NOBODY !
    8 2. If you need only a caching/forwarding DNS server for your
    9    small local network don't use bind for this. Dnsmasq is the 
   10    suitable program for this application. You can find a port 
   11    for dnsmasq under /usr/ports/contrib/dnsmasq.
