      Just a heads up; if you install then uninstall bind, it will also remove nsupdate (/usr/local/bin/nsupdate) which will silently break rfc2136 dyndns updates.

        You installed it manually via pkg install, or what?

          Manually in the sense of System->Package Manager->Available Packages -> Bind.

            Hmmm… cannot see this being removed anywhere in the package files, nor in the PBI shit.

              It definitely not there after uninstall.  Could you try it to confirm?

                As said, this doesn't happen here. There is absolutely no mention of nsupdate in the PHP/XML (GUI) part of the package. I checked the PBI install/deinstall scripts and cannot see how that happens there either. All the stuff is being done under the /usr/pbi/bind-$arch prefix.

                  2.2.4-RELEASE][admin@cassis]/root: find / -iname nsupdate
                  /usr/local/bin/nsupdate
                  /usr/pbi/bin/nsupdate
                  /usr/pbi/bind-amd64/local/bin/nsupdate
                  /usr/pbi/bind-amd64/bin/nsupdate
                  [2.2.4-RELEASE][admin@cassis]/root: ls -la /usr/local/bin/nsupdate
                  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  32 Sep 26 00:32 /usr/local/bin/nsupdate -> /usr/pbi/bind-amd64/bin/nsupdate
                  

                  – at which point I login into web ui and delete bind package.

                  [2.2.4-RELEASE][admin@cassis]/root: find / -iname nsupdate
                  [2.2.4-RELEASE][admin@cassis]/root: ls -la /usr/local/bin/nsupdate
                  ls: /usr/local/bin/nsupdate: No such file or directory

                    Sorry, NFC. File a bug at Redmine, would need PBI rebuild anyway, not fixable with the package code.
