Look at cache_get.  get4() returns uint32 and so on, so
it doesn't matter if your resource limits are

Hmm.. I see there.  Seems more entangled than I thought it'd be.

Why don't you just run one dnscache on one CPU?
If dnscache uses 2^32-1 bytes each, then you'd have
2 GB left for other stuff...

That's an excellent suggestion, except I'd need to buy (or make) at least two biggish load balancers -- far too many clients use this ip address as one of their recursive name servers for me to contact and reconfigure them all.

That's on the todo list, but for today I'm not able to :-/

Thanks,
