The FreeBSD base system BIND is there primarily to provide a local
resolver. In the event that you are doing more serious DNS work (such as
authoritative DNS, a resolver for the local network, etc.) the
expectation is that you will update to a more recent version of BIND.
Using the ports this is quite easily done, and all you have to do in
rc.conf is to change named_program to /usr/local/sbin/named.
I recommend that you install /usr/ports/dns/bind97.
Good luck,
Doug

I have a DNS host running FreeBSD 7.x, running BIND 9.4.x on a 2-CPU
machine with 4GB RAM. It is a recursive DNS server.
Any pointers on how to find out the reason for high CPU. I know that
this machine is not DDOSed
Thanks
