I'd strongly suggest running Tenon's autologging MacsBug (on any
server), so that crashes will get automatically logged and the
machine restarted without external intervention. That way you can
usually get a log to pass on, which is crucial for helping the vendor
to help you.

We do not see this behavior, on a 6100 and a 7100 with 20 MB
allocated to QDNS 3.0. When the cache eventually fills up available
RAM, QDNS purges some and keeps on going.
