	I would apply the patch as it effects programs wanting to use
	the DNS on the Solaris 7 boxes.  As for Solaris 2.6 check
	sunsolve to see if there is a related patch.

	As for you original problem, you seem to think 20 MB for a
	nameserver is a lot of memory.  It is not.  Just allow named
	to get more memory as it needs it for the load you are putting
	on it.
