It's a P120, 64MB RAM, BIND 4.9.5-p1 (recently upgraded to 4.9.6), under a version of FreeBSD 2.2-current from Aug of 96. The machine has been running for about 4 months, does this output look abnormal? udp: 126913455 datagrams received 6 with bad data length field 498 with bad checksum 428654 dropped due to no socket 10764636 broadcast/multicast datagrams dropped due to no socket 143 dropped due to full socket buffers 115150923 not for hashed pcb 115719518 delivered 118314487 datagrams output The no socket/no hashed pcb ones have me concerned, the full socket buffers not so much, although perhaps a kernel parameter could be tweaked? I haven't noticed any problem myself with the nameserver, but perhaps my machines are running off the backups or somesuch.
