Hi, the directory is intended for configuration files included by named.conf via "include" directive. After that the directory is mounted via `mount --bind` into chroot so you can just put files into /etc/named/, include them into named.conf and chrooted configuration will work for you out of the box (i.e. you don't have to create symlinks for files included by named.conf etc...)
