:How do you know what kind of name server configuration kre is running?
:Here's an example of a name server running *non-recursive*, serving
:11.500 zones:
:
:  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
:27162 root       2    0    70M   57M sleep 271:01  3.27%  3.27% named

:Are you saying that such configurations should be illegal?

    I assumed that since the guy said that his named GREW, that he was
    running a recurisve/caching named.

    Obviously if you are running a non-recursive named the static size
    will depend on the zones you are serving.  Duh!

    It is not generally beneficial to allow a caching named to exceed 30MB
    or so on a system that is doing other things.  If the system starts to
    page (which this person's system is obviously doing), then it is doubly
    a bad idea to allow a named to grow that large.
