I'm not sure how many resource records are involved, but I'm guessing =
that
the full file would be around 3.2 million lines.
The file that we have is only a partial and that has around 2.9 million
lines.

I'd be curious to know how many resource records you have in that zone?

I should have mentioned this before, this BIND is running on FreeBSD =3D
4.10
Others have apparently reported a similar condition to MAPS and their =
=3D
advice
was to move back to BIND 8. We have over 1GB of RAM in this beast, we
shouldn't need more memory for one 80MB zone. =3D20
Why would others find no problem using BIND 8 with an 80MB zone but have =
=3D
this
problem with BIND 9.2.3?

To restate the obvious, I would be willing to bet you need more memory, =
=3D
or
need to configure your kernel process limits.

I am using MAPS RBL+ and their zone file has recently (in the past few =
=3D
=3D3D
weeks)
grown to be larger than 64MB. I have been using BIND 9.2.3 prereleases =
=3D
=3D3D
and
have upgraded to 9.2.3 GA recently.
I get the following output in my logs:
Aug 27 08:45:17 <host> named[83125]: transfer of =3D3D
'rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org/IN'
from <mail-abuse.IP>#53: failed while receiving responses: out of memory
My named process also dies every few hours or so.
Is there any recommended course of action to take to fix this that does =
=3D
=3D3D
not
involve going back to BIND 8?
