Anyone have a suggestion?  I'm trying create a config file
with 400+ domains, each with two IP addresses (I'm in the middle
of relocating ip services thanks to NCIT/PAGESAT flaking and filing).

Once I have more than about 256 addresses (roughly) :-), I am
getting this in my logs, and attempts to connect fail (they
take the connection, but give no response at all):

[Sat Dec  7 12:09:48 1996] select: (listen): Invalid argument
[Sat Dec  7 12:09:48 1996] select: (listen): Invalid argument
[Sat Dec  7 12:09:48 1996] select: (listen): Invalid argument

One suggestion was a failure of the select(2) call failing on 
file handles over 256.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to 
correct the problem, or at least give a shot at raising this 
maximum up?  I'd like to ideally put 500 domains on this box :( ..
