Off Topic: Caching Bind Server Freezing

[Gottschalk, David]

Does anyone here use Bind to cache DNS lookups on their MailScanner boxes?

I have a bind caching server running on each of my MailScanner machines, and occasionally named will completely freeze up. I'm not sure why this is occurring. I thought it might have had to do with SpamHaus lookups hanging (they blocked our lookups), so I disabled them in my mailscanner.cf; however, that has not resolved the issue.

I'm running version 9.2.4.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
