Is chroot really necessary?

[Chris Pile]

BIND 8/9 isn't too difficult to get working inside a chroot.  Just try
to compile it statically:

tar -xzvf bind-9.1.2.tar.gz
cd bind-9.1.2
CFLAGS='-g -O --static'
export CFLAGS
./configure
make

Then you don't need any libraries etc.

Also have a look at FreeBSD's jail.  Even better than chroot.
