to close the thread, and for the record/archives:
on fbsd 4.11, I added to /boot/loader.conf:
kern.maxdsiz="1073741824"
giving this result:
#limits
Resource limits (current):
cputime infinity secs
filesize infinity kb
datasize 1048576 kb <<<<<<<<<
stacksize 65536 kb
coredumpsize infinity kb
memoryuse infinity kb
memorylocked infinity kb
maxprocesses 5547
openfiles 11095
sbsize infinity bytes
vmemoryuse infinity kb
BIND memory footprint has been flirting with 600 MB for several days
with no problems. Slightly over 2M cache records when "rndc dumpdb"
and counted.
thanks
