From everything that I read, I would agree.

I don't think so. When the amount of incoming email goes up, then I see

I tried to build bind96 from the pkgsrc, but it always ends in an error:

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: in `/usr/pkgsrc/net/bind96/work/bind-9.6-ESV-R7-P3':
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

I removed  dnssec-lookaside auto;.

It is still using too much cpu though. Any other suggestions?
