There are some memory leaks in bind-8.1.1 and depending on your
application, the process will grow huge, otherwise it is pretty stable. 
Mine has been running for about 36 days and has size of about 19M.  I'd
get a copy of the login.conf from 2.2-stable (some errors were corrected
since 2.2.5R), and then up the values for daemon a bit. 

These values may not be appropriate for your machine, but I finally got
tired of dancing around limits, got out the Big Emacs and hammered a
little bit: 

daemon:\
        :coredumpsize=infinity:\
        :coredumpsize-cur@:\
        :datasize=infinity:\
        :datasize-cur@:\
        :maxproc=512:\
        :maxproc-cur@:\
        :memoryuse=infinity:\
        :memoryuse-cur@:\
        :memorylocked=infinity:\
        :memorylocked-cur@:\
        :openfiles=infinity:\
        :openfiles-cur@:\
        :stacksize=128M:\
        :stacksize-cur@:\
        :tc=default:
