Ladies and Gentlemen,

After doing a recent installation of Bind9 and subsequently chrooting it, I had 
an idea.
Could the Bind9 package be chrooted by default?

Rationale:

1) Security -   I think we could all agree any process that is chrooted 
increases security.
2) Convenient - Compared to chrooting Apache for example, all of the files are 
mostly in 
                one directory and don't need to be accessed by users (e.g. 
chrooted 
                Apache in /var/www/ and public_html directories in ~)
3) Ease -       After choosing a directory chroot to all that is needed is a 
few extra 
                device nodes and a small changes to a few configuration files.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

-Andrew
