Which brings me to another point, BIND is not able to contend with lists
list large!

With databases this large, BIND cores after a period of time.
It's gotten so bad, that I've had to initiate a cron that checks every min
to see if named is running, if not start it.

This is on two different servers, with latest named 8.3.4-REL

I am beginning to look at alternative DNS programs, the problem is so bad!

I would rather not have to go to this extreme but...
