I am encountering problems with named. It is starting again after several years of no problems to eat up all my swap space and then exit. So I added a datasize 30M to named.conf and now the data size sits at about 30 MB. However, after about 12 hours of working fine, I got the message cannot allocat memory and it exited again. This is a mail server that handles a high volume of traffic and looks up a large number of names. Perhaps limiting the datasize is not the right approach, but I need to make it remove entries from its tables rather than keep them for days. What is the best approach for this?
