Ocassionally you have to wary of this one. If memory or CPU resources
are in short supply, you may end up thrashing between a running exim
and a runnig named process on the same machine. In these
circumstances, it is best to put a small named-only server on the same
LAN as the mail server and let that answer queries.
These comments may not apply in most cases with modern hardware and
memory size, but given the recent threads regarding huge exim
processes, then again it might.
(BTW This is from first hand experience with another mailer - on those
days - at Demon).
