  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

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
