I am **FINALLY** starting in on upgrading my domain server.

Right now it is still on bind-9.3.6 via Centos 5.5.  Stepping right up 
to 9.8.2 in Centos 6.3.

I am pretty good with zone files and the like, though I will finally get 
to tackle DNSSEC (and I can go to the sources Austien, Vixie, and Liu if 
need be or even the bind list!), but right now I have much more mundane 
issues.

Like it looks a bit like the chroot tree has changed!

In particular under /var/named/chroot/etc I use to put my named.conf 
with all the include files.  Now I see sub-directories named and pki 
there.  I am ASSuMEing that pki will be for the DNSSEC; but where is the 
documentation?  I tried looking for readme files, but can't find 
anything related to the chrooted bind environment.  What file is the 
location of named.conf set up in?

The zone files look to go in the same place I have them on the old 
server under /var/named/chroot/named/var/named.
