Now sometimes when named is rebooted, we get the following error. named[6931]: socket(SOCK_DGRAM): Too many open files - exiting I assume this has to do with ifconfig and named trying to bind to too many IP numbers. Now is there a patch for named that we can use? Or is there something that needs to be done to the kernel? Cheers, Neil -- Neil Fowler Wright Systems Administrator Corpex Ltd. +44 171 242 4555
