Bind 9.2.2-P3 resolver problems.

Question,

	I am seeing more problems with basic resolution on some of my 
	bind servers that are used by my email servers.

	Every few days they stop answering requests, yet the server is
active in 
	memory and using like 400M ram. I have the 
		cache-size limited to 300M 
	and there are about 9000 domains, 
	recursive-clients = 10000 ( probably my problem it's to big ). 
	So I have some funky out of memory problem that
	I am causing because I have some limit set to low? Or I am wasting
it all with recursive-clients?

Ideas?

Shane.

I haven't tried it myself, but the way it is defined, yes, this should
work.

As I understand your configuration, you want everyone to be able to
query you for the domains for which you are authoritative, but not for
anything else, right?

Don't forget to include your reverse domains!  They can be vital.
