 hmmm.. 75%-85% seems too large because the host runs email application in

was wondering if there are any best/proven practice/recommendations for
such shared application hosts ?

The default value is 32MB. We have 8GB RAM. I don't know if its better to
start with 1GB (1/8th of RAM)?

I was thinking of this when the default was changed to 32M. I changed it intentionally to 0 to see how much will memory usage grow.

I can tell you that on one of our servers where named uses most memory, it currently uses 1359868 VSZ and 732852 RSS after 38 days with ~432 queries per second.

I have even increased max-ttl and max-negative-ttl to see if it affects memory usage.
