In short, SUNWbindr contains the BIND SMF manifest, which installs to=20
/var/svc/manifest/network/dns/server.xml

Make a copy of the .xml in the same directory and edit it:
 - change the instance name from 'default'=20
 - edit the exec param in the exec_method with the new path and=20
   your specific named cmd-line params
 - you can edit the user/group in the method_credential
 - if you chroot, add proc_chroot in the method_credential privileges

svccfg import your new .xml manifest
svcadm enable dns/server-${your instance name}
svcs -x dns/server-${your instance name}

if you chroot, you might want to change the dependencies in your new=20
instance to look for a different path.
