	Ok now for me to show my ignorance.  I looked in the options
portion, and the "C" section of the index in the bind book, and found no
reference to the controls section.  I must be blind, can you help me find
the documentation for the syntax?

	Thanks,

	Each configuration file should have a "controls" section specifying
the
	pathname of its control socket.  You use "ndc -c <path> reload" to
send a
	command to the instance that's listening on the specified socket.
