Hmm, I don't quite think this is a good idea. BIND 9 (since 9.5) manages memory quite well, but it will happily consume all you have and go into swap.
I'd set it high enough (on a dedicated machine) to use plenty of RAM, but low enough to not cause other OS components to swap out or BIND itself to swap. 75% or 85% range seems like a good starting point.
