For a resolving nameserver it seems quite low. Ans as you seem
to be running linuz, there is no reason not to install 
the memory you need. Why don't you start with 128M ?

And, do remove the datasize-limit statements. Bind will grab
the memory it needs to do it's job, there is no point in
interfering with that.
