Robert, I'm running a minimal install of CentOS7 on x86 hardware. This system provides authoritative and recursive roles across two separate BIND views. I also have rbldnsd serving a few zones on this system.

free reports the following after ~24 hrs of uptime:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers cached
Mem:      10071492     912808    9158684      16880        764 319180
-/+ buffers/cache:     592864    9478628
Swap:      5185532          0    5185532

I, too, find that my CentOS 6 systems are using ~ 2GB of RAM. Memory usage on C7 appears to be down compared to a similarly configured C6 name server. Hope this provides a reference point.

I have a server that is only running bind 9.8.2 (Centos 6.5). It has 2Gb memory and free reports ~1.7Gb used.

I am looking at replacing this server with an armv7 board running Redsleeve (until Centos 7 is out and stable for armv7). I have a choice of boards, one with 1Gb memory ($60) and one with 2Gb memory ($90).

This server servers out my zones and supports the couple handfull of systems on my net. I would like to eventually get to DNSSEC, but that is another stalled project.

About the only meaningful difference between the two boards (btw, Cubieboard2 and Cubietruck) for my needs is the memory. I know more memory is better, but how much better?

Oh, why the move to arm? Power consumption. ROI for the C2 board is one year just on power saving.
