• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

In a bind over BIND CPU Utilization

I have a new server with Plesk 6.5 for Windows. Apart from half a dozen domains installed (and not really being used) this is a vanilla Plesk installation done by the techies at Server Matrix.

BIND appears to be doing it's job just fine. Here is an example DNS report which shows that apart from a few warnings everything is working ok:

The problem is after about an hour or so the CPU utilisation goes to around 40%. If I shutdown BIND and then restart it again everything is ok for another hour.

The server is running Windows 2003 with the following spec:
Dual 2.4GHz Xeons
2 x 80GB Drives
2024MB RAM

Does anyone know what maybe causing BIND to use so much CPU and what the cure might be?

Many thanks,
Martyn
