I've not run Bind 9, but worth a shout, I belive the command 'ndc  
start' (or stop or restart etc.) may do the trick.

The FreeBSD handbook is somewhat unclear on the topic, insomuch as the  
Bind 9 page, refers to '/etc/rc.d/named start',

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network- 
bind9.html


Whereas the big DNS page simply refers to 'ndc <start|stop|restart>',

dns.html
