Hi,

I'm looking for some information on what the best way to run a bind 9  
caching name server on FreeBSD 6.3 +. Basically, configurations and  
kernel tweaks on the FreeBSD side of things for memory and performance  
is what I am looking for. The actual Bind compile and configuration I  
understand. Does anyone have any insight on this they would like to  
share?

Thanks,

-Troy
