Hello, 

  I am running a cache only named in one hpux A400 server with 256Mb memory. 
The server is receiving about 300 requests per second. 

  Few days ago the number of requests increase and i started to have 
problems with name resolution. The named still up and running and the cpu 
very low(about 5%). The memory usage is also ok, but the bind stop to answer 
user requests. After stop and start bind again the system work again for 
some days but when it receive high load it stop resolving. This is happening 
specially during the high load times. 

  I was also getting a lot of "cache update denied messages in the log". 
Then i start to send the security messages to "null"

  Anybody else notice the same problem with bind running on a HPUX machine? 
Is there something wrong with my config's? 

  Any help whould be very appreciated.
