You should really upgrade to the latest version on that branch (likely bind-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.5). > The bottom line is: I need to improve named performance.

Something is stalling the named process. Try to run "strace -T -f -p 4509" (4509 is the PID for the named process) and see where named spends its time. The top output you quoted suggests that the process is not spinning in user space. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
