Ok, so can you provide me with some hints? I've tried different things,
like:
cat "16384" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
...or recompiling the kernel with different values in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h
I even tryied this:
options {
files 1000; // Or whatever you need the limit to be
...
};
Then i recompiled bind, guessing that the limit is hardcoded. :-)
Nothing works. When bind starts, after the 500'th interface gets listened,
it starts to spit "too many open files".
I'm using Red Hat Linux 6.2 with kernel-2.3.99pre6
