Hi Phil Many thanks for your reply.
> Try accessing the statistics XML channel over HTTP with a browser With this statistics XML channel I have my pain. Based on the documentation at ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/cur/9.10/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.pdf I tried different URL's. But I always get only some few lines which are very long. But no formatted information. I tried different browsers ( IE, Chrome, FF ) but always the same. Not really something what I can read. If I try this specific URL (for example) from the command line: curl http://localhost:18080/xml/v3/mem 2> /dev/null | xml2 I get about 1800 readable lines. ( It also works with FQDN instead of localhost ) But how to interpret this information ? > ... max-cache-size works fine for us on 9.10.2-P4 ... This is also my experience. With an older version I don't have issues that bind uses too much of memory. Kind regards from Mayer to Mayers :-) Hans -- This is the output of BIND 9.10.3-P2, which is currently restarted ( because of a new installation ) # curl http://localhost:18080/xml/v3/mem 2> /dev/null

Much more than configured. Well, bind will use memory for things other than cache. Try accessing the statistics XML channel over HTTP with a browser; it'll render to HTML via stylesheet, and show you memory context usage. Have a look and see what stands out. FWIW, max-cache-size works fine for us on 9.10.2-P4, and limits it to the appropriate value. We see this reflected in RSS as well. _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
