hi all...

this is probably a stupid question but..
can anybody explain why named is using so much ram?

on a RH 8 box, BIND 9.2.1

there are multiple processes - 5 - and each one is taking up to 6% of the
ram.

all the zone files together are around 700k.
the machine has 1gig of ram - 6% (x 5) is a lot...

can somebody explain why?

thanks..
