Thank you very much for the swift response, Ondrej, You are right. Local configuration is more "trivial" so to say -> it is RHEL 7.9 3.10.0-1160.71.1.el7.x86_64 with gcc-4.8.5-44.el7.x86_64.
Our installation / test flow was very basic. The records generation part is different though , using shell script basically. Unique IPs were linked with unique CNAMEs. The build process is very simple for all components: download -> configure -> make -> make install. All default values. The only custom part is named.conf -> a single zone configured and custom hosts files. That is it. We will test with a higher kernel.

I don’t want to delve into vague description of your experiment. You’ll have to share the exact scripts.

What are the CNAME targets? What is the exact `named.conf`? What are the exact library versions? What is the exact ./configure invocation? How do you execute `named`? And yet again - the memory statistics from the statschannel could show the breakdown of the internal memory contexts and also show if there’s a difference between the internally reported memory usage and externally reported memory usage, e.g. is this something allocated in named, or is this allocated in the libraries? > Should the memory reduction apply to our experiment? The question doesn’t really make sense. We have not measured any increase in our test scenarios, which doesn’t mean you can’t find different scenarios with a memory increase.
