Please forgive my newbiness about this, I am still learning the ins and outs.

To start BIND, I used launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.bind9.plist

By doing this, I understand it creates a launchdaemon that keeps BIND running. However this appears to negate the use of the rndc commands for starting and stopping the server as the launchdaemon keeps trying to relaunch BIND after it is stopped with rndc.

So, if I want control over starting/stopping BIND, but I want it to start on boot, what is the best way to accomplish this? Is there a way to configure the launchdaemon to not relaunch BIND if it is stopped, but only on reboot?

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that I need a way to stop the server while I work on it, but I do want the launchdaemon to keep BIND alive if it should crash.
