Problem: When I edit an entry in my DNS and then run Kill -HUP PID my name server does not restart. This is the message I get in /var/log/messages: ------- Dec 24 11:27:33 main named[68]: reloading nameserver Dec 24 11:27:33 main named[68]: socket(SOCK_DGRAM): Too many open files - exiting ------- I've tried, named.restart, named.reload, named -b .... However, if I reboot, the name server reloads just fine. I've increased the MAX_OPEN significantly. Didn't help. I also have a BSD machine as my secondary which reloads just fine. The resources difference in the 2 machines. 1: -runs primary DNS -http with about 118 virtual servers. -about 118 ifconfigs binding IP addresses for those virtual servers. -everything else is pretty standard - sendmail, etc. 2: -runs secondary DNS -no https -no ifconfigs for virtual sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris Bura chris@netcorps.com
