We had problems with all bind versions 4.x and 8.x when they hit the
memory limit. These versions have no mechanism to expire/remove records
from the cache and simply die.
Dunno about bind 9.x though.

There are 2 solutions to this problem:
- put more memory in the machine
- use dnscache. It replaces cached records on a fifo basis if it runs out
  of memory.

I don't want to get involved in any bind vs. djbdns bashing.
We run a mixed setup with dnscache for the caching only servers and bind
with the caching+auth servers and are quite happy for the moment ;-)
