We're transitioning from SLES to RHEL, and this happens on the RHEL system only (but SLES version is older than 9.7.3-P3). Bind runs fine for days under "simulated" load, but runs randomly for minutes to many hours before freezing under real client/internet requests. When it does freeze, it really freezes. Not only no more requests, but rndc is no longer able to contact it to get stats, dump the db, anything. When I strace in to named, it seems to be doing NOTHING (no sys calls at all). So far, a trace 90 [running before freeze] hasn't turned up anything obvious that I can see (or understand) - and the trace 90 also stops when bind stops responding.
