[ksemat at eahd.or.ug]

I have mailed my named.conf and zone file to you you can share it with
those you trust since I don't know everyone on this list I couldn't post
it here.
the machine is a microplus with 128 MB of RAM 18GB scsi hard disk and
a pentium III 550 MHZ processor.
I am using Bind 8 on suse linux 6.1. it is not a ram problem at least it
handles large loads well.
