Well ndc doesn't work with BIND9. rndc does. But it can't be used to
start the name server. Or restart it yet. So you start a BIND9 server
by explicitly invoking named: at least for now.

rndc supports most of the functionality that ndc had, though there are
a few features missing. These will probably be added to a future
release. The main ones -- like toggling query logging, dumping the
cache, and reloading -- are already there.
