+*	BIND 9 requires a good source of randomness to operate.		*
+*	It also requires configuration of rndc, including a		*
+*	"secret" key.  If you are using FreeBSD 4.x, visit		*
+*	http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/randomness.html for		*
+*	information on how to set up entropy gathering. Users		*
+*	of FreeBSD 5.x do not need to perform this step. If		*
+*	you are running BIND 9 in a chroot environment, make		*
+*	sure that there is a /dev/random device in the chroot.		*
+*									*
+*	The easiest, and most secure way to configure rndc is		*
+*	to run 'rndc-confgen -a' which will generate the proper		*
+*	conf file, with a new random key, and appropriate file		*
+*	permissions.							*
