The CPUs are "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz" and have 4gb ram, so you should be fine. Just make sure that you limit the size of the caches. I generally leave about 512 MB for the base os and let the cache use the rest. BIND will only use 4GB max though (32bit internal memory addressing), although that might be per cache. If you use views you might want to look at the attach cache feature, to boost cache efficiency.
