[CentOS] repost: SELinux questions, upon restarting BIND

As this remains an issue for me, I'm reposting.  Please forgive the redundancy, but I've been unable to find the answer and am hoping for some guidance.

Thanks in advance,

Update:

A bit of searching found a thread which pointed here:
http://www.webservertalk.com/message1323968.html

This is a talk about Bind 9.x on RHEL4, but I think it applies to C5 as
well as the issue is SELinux and chrooted BIND implementations.

Problem is, I'm still not sure what should be done.  I'd rather not
disable SELinux protection  by doing this:

setsebool -P named_disable_trans=1

...but the instructions for alerting SELinux to the chrooted file locations are a bit short of my (inexperienced) needs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

@Moderator: if this is truly off-topic, my apologies.  Please let me know and I will post to an SELinux list.

TIA,
~Ray
