I never noticed BIND needing that much RAM, mind you all the boxes I
have running BIND have more RAM than they probably need.

In any case, I've never really had a good look under the covers of
BIND, what's it doing with all that RAM?

I could imagine where it is likely allocating some in-memory cache and
things like this in the interest of performance, probably b-tree
look-ups or some such. Those sort of things should probably be
tweek-able, no?
