It's odd that they're both taking a good deal of CPU, however, I believe named is a multi-threaded app, and you'll thus get more than one instance sometimes. In fact, it looks like I've got six processes going (by running ps aux | grep named). It's pretty normal, like how Apache has a zillion copies of itself going to deal with visitors.

you shouldnt have 2, check your /var/log/messages or /var/log/deamon to see if 1 is giving you "socket in use"
i would kill them both and start up one again.

Just kill the processes, and restart named (through whatever init script is on your server) -- or a reboot if you'd rather not manually kill it.
If it's still like that afterwards, then you have to investigate.

What do you mean you can't kill them via SSH?
It's fine that there are two -- my named runs 5 processes -- it's normal to have a threaded named. The problem was more with how much CPU each was using -- that is not normal, and it's not good.
Are they still using that much CPU?

cubision--- yest they are still using that much CPU
I just check /var/log/messages and found tons of the following inside (about 23 thousend lines..) all the same error with the same domain:
-----
Feb 1 05:37:05 servername named[3100]: lame server resolving 'domainame.com' (in 'domainame.COM'?): 12.34.56.78#53
-----
Do you know what's wrong? This was an account i have cancell 3 days ago. It was runngin a free based webmail service.

ok found the problem...
probably it's because the main domain.com had domain.net as pointed domain. Since i delete the main account "domain.com" request's are going still to the domain.net and perhaps that created some confusion. As soon as i backup the main account domain.com all goes fine for cpu load and named.
However as the domain was a free webmail service i hade a lot of trouble with the recent virus. As soon as i backup the account exim put's the server load over 100.00 !!! and i found more that 250 mail in queue in only 60 seconds! So I had temporarly to disable exim on server.
I will now try do unpark first the parked domain and then delet the main account. Then unsuspend exim. Hope this will be the final step of this story.
Thanks to all for your help.

I would always run named with named -u bind -g bind -c /etc/namedb/named.conf
-u and -g being the uid and gid. This way those problems wont arise. There will be 0% confusionAxcelx Technologies - James

not sure but there seems to be a problem on nameserver on wich was hosted this domain as these errors are reffering to those 2 nameserver IP's:
-------
Feb 1 05:37:05 servername named[3100]: lame server resolving 'domainame.com' (in 'domainame.COM'?): 12.34.56.78#53
-------
Feb 1 05:37:05 servername named[3100]: lame server resolving 'domainame.com' (in 'domainame.COM'?): 12.34.56.79#53

I'll fix give me root j/k
Go into the config and check for that domainname.com if thats not a domain you own remove its justifications.
Maybe you should post your config here and I can better assist you.Axcelx Technologies - James

yeah i'll send you a packege with a gift and my root PW..hehe
let's goe seriouse.... just read about lame servers and think adding the following into named.conf should fix the problem
-------
logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
//category queries { default_syslog; default_debug; };
};
-----
not sure if it does but i will try it out.
