    just installed bind9 from the ports tree (I'm still on 3.1, sorry). I've
    got it going moderately well, but I'm trying to figure out where the
    debug output goes - I've got the debug level up to 9 trying to puzzle
    out some zone transfer problems and don't see anything anywhere.

    Also, I find that dig's operation is a little different:

    if I say

    dig @localhost localhost

    I can't contact any servers.

    If I say, instead

    dig @localhost. localhost

    things work great. What gives? It almost seems that the server name
    *must* be fully qualified? This is different from bind8 that I'm used to
    elsewhere.

    Thanks,
    chris
