Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : named using 20 - 30 % of the cpu

[England]

Hi, i run plesk 6 on my redhat 9 server, before i had it upgraded from redhat 7.3 and plesk 5.5 my cpu usage was 99% free pretty much all the time.

Since the upgrade named has been using a lot of the cpu, i killed it, but then wasnt able to resolve websites etc.. to wget.

Any idea what could be causing it to be so high..

on one of my server i have similar problem - named used CPU almost always on top

and additional traffic 5G per day (i check its UDP)

can someone help
