Hmm, I don't quite think this is a good idea. BIND 9 (since 9.5) manages memory quite well, but it will happily consume all you have and go into swap.
I'd set it high enough (on a dedicated machine) to use plenty of RAM, but low enough to not cause other OS components to swap out or BIND itself to swap. 75% or 85% range seems like a good starting point. --Michael On May 31, 2012, at 8:18 PM, Doug Barton wrote: > On 5/31/2012 1:51 PM, blrmaani wrote: > >> Question: >> what is the recommended configuration for 'max-cache-size' for optimum >> usage ? > > You should not restrict the size of the cache at all if you want the > best performance.
