I'm seeing this on both FreeBSD 5.4-p1 and -STABLE, either named will
hang around the 100 - 250M memory mark with top output like ...

As you can see plenty of memory free.


Or if I drop down the datasize and cache size then I get the above
crash. Any ideas anyone ?


    The only thing you should do with datasize is raise it.
    The option is there so that the process can get *more* than
    the default memory allocation.

    If you want to restict the amount of memory being used then
    max-cache-size is what should be set.  Note for this to be
    effective it needs to trigger *before* named's memory usage
    hits the datasize limit.

    Lowering both datasize and max-cache-size is generally
    counter productive.



True, but with none in place (I'd like it to use a gig or so if possible for the cache), then the system "freezes" and needs to be kill -9'ed and restarted, hence why I dropped the memory limits / put them in place in the first place. Ideally I'd like this machine to not crash at all since it's the primary cache. Have I run into some obscure bug ?

i have freebsd 5.3-release with the base bind 9.3 (chrooted). It

After /etc/rc.d/named restart it's working fine for a couple of
hours...
What could cause this problem?



Out of memory? Hitting memory limits?

The code appears to chuck the return code if its nonzero, which is
pesky.
I suspect its ENOMEM, though.


How big is the named process when it starts malfunctioning?
