As Kevin Clark said, you really should know to provide more info. :)
One thing that is begging to be asked is: What changed right around when
the problem started happening? And I know you work in a datacenter, and I
know what those are like, so don't you dare tell us "nothing changed". :)
I've seen problems like that with BIND 9 on recent Red Hat releases, where
a custom-compiled kernel's threading API did not match libc's threading API.
Random thread functions will fail, segfault, abort, or whatever. Of course,
I have no idea what distribution you're running, so that might be away off
base.
At a minimum, you should tell us your distribution and release, and the
version of the software (i.e., BIND) that's giving you trouble.
