could not mark server as lame: out of memory Errors

[Kevin Darcy]

I would just treat this as a generic "out of memory" issue that just 
happens to be triggered by named's attempt to mark servers as lame.

If you don't have any "datasize" specified in your options, check to see 
if the OS is limiting your datasize before named is even starting up 
(e.g. via a "limit" or "ulimit" command).

Also, I'm not familiar enough with named's internals to know if 
lame-server records are stored in the "cache" or not, but if they are, 
then you might want to check if you're limiting cache size via 
max-cache-size.

                                                                         
                           - Kevin
