/etc/init.d/NetworkManager starts the "bind" service. When NetworkManager was using dhcdbd (pre-F8), it made sense to have named started as resolv.conf was always pointing to the localhost named instance. Now that dhcdbd is gone, NetworkManager should not need named. BTW, I think that dhcdbd was a better approach, as the local named instance would try to query the DHCP-provided DNS server and was falling back to resolving from the root servers if the (DHCP-provided) forwarders were not responsive. Any chance to have dhcdbd back? Phil.
