I'm running bind 9.2.4 and am regularly seeing it use > 1.5Gb ram. I'm
loading ~ 1050 zones and an RBL zone. The zones on disk are 132680Mb
(measured with du). rndc dumpdb produces a 40Mb dump file.
Immediately after startup completes, bind is using slightly less than
500Mb. max-cache-size is set to 250M. The machine has 1Gb of physical
memory + 2Gb swap.
I would expect memory usage to stabilize somewhere around 750Mb, but it
doesn't. After a few weeks of running, the amount of swapping becomes
noticeable and I have to kill and restart named. Are there issues with
max-cache-size in 9.2.4? Or am I missing something obvious?
