Thanks for the answer,
@ Andreas i made the test and i have the same performance as OS 64 bind 64.
NB: when i reach the maximum throughput i still have enough free RAM, free CPU, free NIC capacity. So the limit is in Bind. What to do to reach more capacity?
Tests:
Test1: OS 64 bit, bind 64 bit ==> 50000 qps
Test2: OS 32 bit, bind 32 bit ==> 70000 qps
Test3: OS 64 bit, bind 32 bit ==> 50000 qps

Regards 
Issam Harrathi.

My recommendation would be use a 64Bit OS, but 32Bit applications as  
long as they don't need a large amount of memory. One should not  
install a 32Bit OS on a server today until it is a embeded device or  
something similar.
