I want to confirm what Carsten said here;
I just performed an upgrade from Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 one day before
Yesterday. The upgrade itself went fine except for BIND and Apache.
After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, 10.9, the upgrade removed all the
files mentioned bellow plus all the Websites on Apache configuration as
well. OS X Mavericks no longer have the web sharing. So it is highly
advisable to backup your BIND and Apache configuration files before
upgrade. Fortunately I had a copy of all these files in a backup mirror
server. So, for me was just a matter of connecting and copying all these
files back to OS X Mavericks and set the nrdc key again.
Here is the files to backup;
Full path to the named.conf file /etc/named.conf
Full path to the named executable /usr/sbin/named
Full path to whois command whois
Full path to ndc command ndc
Full path to rndc command rndc
Full path to rndc-confgen command rndc-confgen
Full path to the rndc.conf file /etc/rndc.conf
Full path to named-checkzone command named-checkzone
Full path to named-checkconf command named-checkconf
Full path to dnssec-keygen command dnssec-keygen
Full path to dnssec-signzone command dnssec-signzone
In addition do not forget to back-up the PID file location in your
system whatever the PID file it is located;
Default PID file location ———? Your location
