i'm running the x64 bit version.
You can _try_ to raise that limit above 4Gb (see the various configuration elements under "Operating System Resource Limits" in the ARM), but your OS may still limit you. You'd need to look at your OS documentation to see how to raise "soft" and/or "hard" limits.
also to increase the cache hit ratio I have created script to query my
dns for the top 1 million sites. would this give any performance
advantages or is it useless.

Since a large percentage of those top sites use DNS-based load-balancing with small TTLs on their records, it's pretty useless.

Of course, you can measure your cache hit ratio to see if it's really helping you or not. Real data always beats pure speculation.
