Probably due to the fact that gethostbyname leaks memory in RedHat
6.0 with glibc 2.1.1. The quick fix is to delete nisplus service from
hosts entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf. In my tests dnsserver memory use
remained stable after I made the above change.

See http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3919.
