Bind9 caching name server

We are running a caching name server on the server, chroot'ed to /var/lib/named, running as user "bind", and bound to the loopback interface only. This was installed via:

#apt-get install bind9

Unfortunately, I had previously run "apt-get install bind", not realizing that the default was Bind8. I think I've removed all traces of Bind8 - "apt-get remove bind" didn't take everything with it, such as the startup script.

This shouldn't require any further configuration, as we only need caching DNS to support the mail server. If it does, named options are set in /etc/default/bind9.
