We've a nameserver with a fairly limited amount of RAM (64MB). Left unattended, its cache grows to a fairly unwieldy size, drastically slowing lookups and impacting upon customer services. I have been charged with finding a remedy to this situation. I immediately siezed upon the 'datasize' option, but was told that this does not relate to cache-management per se, and then when the datasize limit is hit, the effect will be that named can't get any more memory, thus not being able to perform further lookups -- which would again bring us to a situation in which customer services are (greatly) delayed. Not good! None of the other options I found in the named.conf manpage seem like they'll do the trick. So I'm kind of dead in the water right now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
