About ideal RAM capacity

[Lanny Baron]

If you are going to run dns services. Run djbdns and you will be happy. 
I don't know why you would want such a small amount of memory though.

Here is what you might expect (note the owner is bind but trust me, we 
don't use bind at all :)
77289 bind         2   0  2220K  1672K poll     8:10  0.00%  0.00% dnscache
77282 bind         2   0  1016K   428K sbwait   0:19  0.00%  0.00% tinydns
