BIND 8 on NT has bug that make BIND stop answering, while the ISC BIND
service is still running. I have a workaround, which tests BIND for
answers rather than whether BIND NT svc is "running", and stop/starts BIND
if BIND is not answering:
See: http://bind8nt.meiway.com/bugs.cfm
David Conrad of ISC tells me this bug and the no-mulitple-ip bug are to be
fixed in 8.2.3.
I don't know of any pb with BIND8 / NT failing under load.
If you dig the last query in named.run (see my config.cfm page for a full
logging statement) when BIND stopped writing to the log, AND you get dozens
of A records for one host name, then you've hit the bug. June's a good
month for bugs.
