Most systems these days have packages of BIND. Those that do tend to have 
BIND-chroot as an option for install. 

What are the benefits of chrooting BIND?

I am about to move my primary NS to a new machine, so I have to build it out. I 
can build it normal, or chroot. 

Chrooting doesn't seem much more challenging, though there are some additional 
gotchas that it adds. Everything must be self contained in the chroot. Some 
tools like SELinux can make that a tiny bit more work too. 

I have always wondered, in the case of BIND, what are the pros and cons of 
going chroot?
