Then you also need to file a similar bug as Jim found for ssh.
The dns/server service needs to make its config file location 
configurable as a service property.

(It shouldn't be specified as a dependency either.)

As I mentioned above, this isn't sufficient, to specify an 
alternate config file for named to actually use?

It seems like even if it was, the tricky bit is your desire to 
overwrite the user the start method runs as, right?  You're not looking 
to completely duplicate the instance's config so much as tweak a few 
property groups just a little bit.

That seems like a reasonable RFE for SMF to provide help with on the 
command line.  I've just filed 6452754 to capture what I think the 
requirements are.  

Visual Panels will make this *lots* easier if you're willing to use a GUI.

But even if we gave you code for 6452754, you'll still need to file a bug
against dns/server to get it to read a config file property.  I 
strongly encourage you to do that, and please add me to the interest
list. :)

thanks,
