Hello,
Running BIND DNS Server on a VPS with 128M of memory is not possible !
Does virtualmin support light weight dns servers such as djbdns ?
Best regards
Howdy,
While there’s some long-term plans to work on getting the Virtualmin stack to fit into smaller amounts of RAM, you’re right that 128MB really won’t work today 
And unfortunately, it doesn’t have support for djbdns.
At the moment though, you probably want to consider giving it at least 512MB of RAM… and even that can be a bit on the low end depending on the sort of traffic you’re seeing and how things are setup.
However, you may want to take a peek at this, it may offer some help in reducing your memory consumption:
I have read it !
I am working with a (big) vps server provider, currently the best way is to use external dns server such as freedns.afraid.org, consider that RAM is a preciouse resource, the more RAM you have, the more monthly fee you should pay.
I am working on different panels to get the best performance on vps servers. Kloxo has djbdns but it is not on active developement, …
I have had webmin and BIND running on a 128MB VPS for over a year.
After a while I installed virtualmin and had to upgrade to 256MB RAM which is still running fine.
This is a CentOS 5.5 installation in a openVZ container. Xen uses much more RAM.
Mmh, I know this won’t really help in this case, but actually, nowadays RAM should not be such a limiting resource anymore.
I’m operating a physical server (running as VMWare ESXi host) with 12 GB of RAM, and the basic fee for that at my hoster is $90 per month. For $120 per month you get 24 GB of RAM.
Also, they started offering virtual machines just a few days ago starting at $11 per month for a machine with 512 MB.
So if you’re in any way intending to do “serious” web hosting, those comparable $11 should be worth it.
