BIND startup...

[Jeff Justice]

Please forgive my newbiness about this, I am still learning the ins  
and outs.

To start BIND, I used launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ 
org.macports.bind9.plist

By doing this, I understand it creates a launchdaemon that keeps BIND  
running.  However this appears to negate the use of the rndc commands  
for starting and stopping the server as the launchdaemon keeps trying  
to relaunch BIND after it is stopped with rndc.

So, if I want control over starting/stopping BIND, but I want it to  
start on boot, what is the best way to accomplish this?  Is there a  
way to configure the launchdaemon to not relaunch BIND if it is  
stopped, but only on reboot?

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that I need a way to stop the  
server while I work on it, but I do want the launchdaemon to keep BIND  
alive if it should crash.
