So do I :-)

try maradns + zoneserver

Very lightweight compared to Bind. I used it for that reason.

I have run maradns + postfix + Mailman + Apache + mysql + php + spampd spam 
filtering in a 256 MB Ubuntu VPS.

The only issue is different zone files (but not difficult). Not as full 
featured as Bind. (I can provide you with a working example if you want.)

Here's the memory usage:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
   623 nobody    20   0  2068  684  508 S    0  0.1   0:10.11 maradns
  1085 nobody    20   0  1884  456  348 S    0  0.1   0:00.00 zoneserver
  1095 nobody    20   0  1884  316  188 S    0  0.1   0:00.00 zoneserver
  1097 nobody    20   0  1884  304  176 S    0  0.1   0:00.00 zoneserver
