I have a firewall machine that I recently installed running 4.2-STABLE
and acting as a nameserver (among other things)
After running for 10 hours or so, named is using 90-100% of the
processor time. It's continuing to serve queries just fine and a "kill
-HUP" resets it back to using mimimal resources, but this doesn't seem
like normal behaviour. It's also using 15M of memory. (kill -HUP does
not change the mem usage)
For now I'm going to put a cron job that does a "killall -HUP named"
every 12 hours, but this is a kludge. Anyone familiar with this or have
any guesses. Seems like some kind of processor leak or something.
