Hello,

I've got an interesting question to do with BIND running on a machine
with IP aliases.

My machine is running FreeBSD2.1.5 (straight off the CD) and has an
entire class C of /32 inet aliases attached to the ethernet card.  This
is to facilitate a batch of virtual ftp servers.  The problem is this.
I also want to run named on the machine, and when I start it I get:

Nov 22 10:32:40 dougal named[2019]: starting.  named LOCAL-960717.011537 Wed Jul 17 01:15:37  1996      jkh@whisker.cdrom.com:/usr/src/usr.sbin/named
Nov 22 10:32:40 dougal named[2019]: socket(SOCK_DGRAM): Too many open files - exiting

I guess that named doesn't like binding inaddrany, how can this be solved?

Cheers in advance for any help,
All the best,
Joe.
