That's quite a bit. named here is using less than a meg here.

Dunno exactly what is going on, but there might be a memory leak in named
and/or bind - those memory values seem a bit excessive to me. But that
depends I suppose on what you are doing.

Normally, the 'free' memory you have will go down after a period of time -
that is perfectly normal. "Free" memory is wasted memory, and the kernel
tries to allocate that for buffers and stuff. So, apart from the named 
and bind issues, it's perfectly normal behavior.
