Hello,

I am not sure is this is the right email to contact, but here is my issue:
We are using power dns 2.9.21 (We had that installed for us, so I am not 100% sure if this is really the exact version, is there a way to check?). The installation is myslq backended running on centos-5-x86_64 VPS. We are offering a free domain registration and have more that 20 000 domains for which provide free DNS services. The problem is that in the last few weeks when the server is started its ram would constantly increase until it reached 10GB and our VPS crashed. Once we run the command /etc/init.d/pdns restart the ram of the VPS gets back to normal levels of 700-1000 MB. This was happening every 2-3 hours yesterday and we were forced to set a cronjob that would restart pdns every hour to avoid server downtime, but it is not a permanent resolution. I have read in forums people discussing that this is a bug which is caused by failed MySQL connections that are not completely closed and gather with the time and little by little consume the whole server memory. This was mainly noticed on configurations with less traffic. The difference with us however is that we have around 10K visitors per day on our main site only, so I am not sure if the problem is identical.
Please advise how to resolve this issue.

Best regards,
Preslav
