I would apply the patch as it effects programs wanting to use
the DNS on the Solaris 7 boxes. As for Solaris 2.6 check
sunsolve to see if there is a related patch.
As for you original problem, you seem to think 20 MB for a
nameserver is a lot of memory. It is not. Just allow named
to get more memory as it needs it for the load you are putting
on it.
