284mb ... isn't that too much!???
That depends; how many zones are you serving DNS for?
One also wonders why your named service is running as root.
Postfix problems? Come find me in #postfix on the freenode IRC network.
@KB1JWQ: Excellent point. The default user it should run as is BIND.
For comparison purposes, I'm serving 34 zones and using about 65MB. This is on CentOS 5.5 using bind 9.3.6.
