>Description:
while trying to start named on a couple of various hosts i've had the
same problems occur that are related to new / changed named.conf
issues.  there are two main issues:

- the /etc/namedb/keys subdir isn't created, causing named to abort
  during early start up

- the old dnssec-lookaside option has been removed

also, the newer one has these two lines added, maybe they should also
be added to named.confs?

       max-udp-size 1220;
       edns-udp-size 1220;

>How-To-Repeat:
install older netbsd, upgrade to -current or -11, try to start named.
>Fix:
- postinstall should create /etc/namedb/keys is missing.

- postinstall should either automatically remove or explicitly fail if
  it finds the dnssec-lookaside option in named.conf

- possibly, postinstall should be patched to add the udp-size options.

 We should use 1232.
