Private Networks and Bind 9.9.0+

As of BIND 9.9.0 bind is now compliant with RFC6303. RFC6303 addresses the issue that everywhere on the Internet private networks are leaking [People - you need egress firewalls..., egress firewalls, not just ingress]. Name servers receive many queries for addresses that are 'private' [see RFC1918].

Where and what is /var/run/named?

    # service named start
    Starting name server BIND checkproc: Can not stat /var/run/named/named.pid: Too many levels of symbolic links
    - Warning: /var/run/named/named.pid exists! start_daemon: Can not stat /var/run/named/named.pid: Too many levels of symbolic links                                                          done
