Hello friends,
I ran the following code on freebsd 5.5
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -g bind -c /etc/namedb/named-lan.conf
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -g bind -c /etc/namedb/named-internet.conf

I want to run two instances of bind to see my website both on the lan and the internet but here is the problem, I says to many arguments in my syntax. Is their something I missed out, like spacing etc.
Please give me some professional heads up.

I think it's because you have "bind" in there twice.

Try /usr/sbin/named -u bind -g -c /etc/namedb/named-lan.conf

Linux many thanks, at least it ran, but with a couple of errors
