It is also a good idea to take the /usr/local/sbin/named
away to another FreeBSD/Linux box. DNS lookups is
always a slow process and queues other processes
particularly during Internet peak hours.
Because the box is mainly Email services, and not
transaction type application such as financial databases, it
will help alleviate processing bottle neck by increasing
the time between disc sync'ing as done by the (syncer)
process.
