Memory usage

Hi,

	Token stupid question...running Solaris 2.6 to 8 and BIND 8.2.5 to
9.1.3 is there a way that I can determine how much memory my named
and cache is consuming? I assume named and cache have different
memory allocations. So if I do a top on my 2.6 box you see named
consumes 61MB

last pid:  7622;  load averages:  0.01,  0.06,  0.08                 
                                                     15:19:39
34 processes:  32 sleeping, 1 zombie, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 98.4% idle,  0.8% user,  0.4% kernel,  0.4% iowait,  0.0%
swap
Memory: 256M real, 7032K free, 169M swap in use, 1879M swap free

  PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME    CPU COMMAND
26403 root                 1  48    0     61M   55M sleep  45:16 
0.47% named

And this process map confirms how named is allocating:

EF780000     40K read/write/exec   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
EF78A000     16K read/write/exec     [ anon ]
EF7B0000      8K read/exec         /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
EF7C0000    128K read/exec         /usr/lib/ld.so.1
EF7EE000     16K read/write/exec   /usr/lib/ld.so.1
EFFF0000     64K read/write/exec     [ stack ]
 total    62152K

Am I missing where the named cache is consuming memory? Does it take
up purely physical or virtual or a combination? Sorry for the
platform specific questions but I'm running into possible resource
issues and have very little concrete explaination.
