Bind runs fine within a vs, you can actually compile and install it
within the vs with no problem. Just configure the named.conf to have
bind only listen on the IP address of the vs. If you want to run the
name server as admin (or some other, non root user), you can probably
redirect the TCP and UDP ports for bind with iptables per the examples
for apache in the freevsd docs if you're running a 2.4 kernel, but
vsdredirect only does TCP and I don't think ipchains can do it.
I don't see any real benefit of running freevsd within vs though. Most
of the initialization work and port redirection stuff needs root
priviledges, so it would seem to me that that sort of defeats the
purpose of doing it.
