For those seeing this problem on bind 9.10.1, did you upgrade from 9.9.6 or from an earlier version of bind 9.9.*? As mentioned above, I am seeing this problem on 9.9.6. I do not find bind 9.10.1 growing any faster than 9.9.6 does. I restarted bind 9.9.6 with a max-cache-size of 30M. We have 3 views. The inital process size was 36 MB. The process grew to 184 MB. It grew to 596 MB without the max-cache-size being set and was still growing when I restarted it. BUT when I now do an rndc dumpdb -cache, the named_dump.db file contains only the line ; Dump complete and nothing else. So, if you put any limit on the cache size, you will end up with an empty cache. I do believe that there is a bug that needs to be fixed.
