lookup-domain hung - memory consumption skyrockets

Hi,

The lookup-domain daemon hung on our mailserver leading to hundreds of lookup-domain.pl cliente processes running simultaneously.

This has consumed all the available memory, lead to extreme slowness and huge email queue.

The problem went away after issuing:

/etc/init.d/lookup-domain restart

This has happened only once in 7 months.
