why don't named process work when memory utilize exceed 2G?

	All I can presume is that it was built as a 32 bit process not
	a 64 bit process.

	You can rebuild as a 64 bit process.

	You can add limits to named.conf to stop named reaching 2G
	assuming that this is a caching server.  For a authoritative
	server it needs as much memory as it requests.
