What version of BIND is this?
Are you running multithreaded (how many worker threads if you are - the
logs when named starts should tell you this).
When you say 'hang' can you give more detail, for example is the named
process still running? Is it consuming CPU or sitting motionless (what
does top say?) Is it responding to queries (try dig, try queries that
you'd expect to be in cache as well as ones that probably aren't). Is
it responding to rndc (what do you get from rndc status?).
What sort of query rate is the nameserver receiving?
Have you configured max-cache-size in named.conf?
Kind regards,
Cathy
