The first one that fails is looking for /etc/named.conf. The second
one shows its in /var/named/etc/named/named.conf
Those are different locations. I suspect you have named_flags setup
in rc.conf pointing to /etc/namedb/named.conf rather than the right
location. Its also possible that its not set in rc.conf but defaults
in either the rc script or /etc/rc.d/named. On my system it appears
to default in /etc/rc.d/named.
FreeBSD defaults to running named chrooted. /etc/namedb is actually a
symbolic link:
% ls -la /etc/namedb
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Jul 6 06:24 /etc/namedb@ ->
/var/named/etc/namedb
so the files referenced are in fact exactly the same file.
Actually
/etc/named.conf
is NOT the same as
/etc/namedb/named.conf ergo it is not the same as /var/named/etc/
namedb/named.conf
Gary, add
named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
to /etc/rc.conf. Or change /etc/namedb/named.conf to the /var
version if you like/there is no symlink.

However, the
flags from the log extract don't look like the defaults to me. (I'm
running the dns/bind98 port, and the equivalent info from the log line
is '-t /var/named -u bind')
Gary, what named related settings do you have in /etc/rc.conf? You
almost certainly don't need anything more than:
named_enable="YES"
and perhaps
syslogd_flags="-ss -l /var/named/var/run/log"
so named can log to the system syslog.
Cheers,
Matthew
